Paver Calculator

Enter your patio or walkway size and the paver size in inches to see how many pavers to buy, with extra for cuts and breakage. Use it for brick, square or large-format pavers.

Common questions

What waste factor should I use?

The default is 5%, which suits simple rectangles. Curves, borders or diagonal patterns often need 10% or more.

Should I use the nominal or actual paver size?

Use the size on the product label. Joints are not added, so tight-fit pavers give the best match.

Does it include base and sand?

No, it counts pavers only. The patio planner adds base gravel, sand and edging for you.

When should I hire a pro?

Consider one for driveways, slopes, drainage problems or complex patterns that need a lot of cutting.
