Calculate paver quantity for patios and walkways from project dimensions, paver size and waste. Estimate total pieces and square footage before ordering.
Enter your measurements and material details.
Order by the manufacturer pallet or layer quantities when applicable rather than relying only on individual count.
The paver calculator estimates individual piece count for one paver size over a rectangular project area. It adds an allowance for border cuts, breakage and pieces that cannot be reused. Multi-size patterns need a pattern-specific breakdown rather than one uniform paver size.
Measure the finished paved dimensions inside edging or borders. If a contrasting border uses a different paver, calculate the center field and border separately. Curved walks and fan patterns generally create more cuts than straight rectangular patios.
About 5–10% can work for simple rectangles; curves, diagonals and complex patterns may require more.
The estimate uses nominal paver dimensions and does not model every joint individually.
Yes. Calculate the field and border as separate areas when they use different units.
No. Gravel base and bedding sand need separate volume calculations.
Use the result to determine coverage, then compare it with the pallet or layer coverage sold by your supplier.
Using the example inputs shown in the calculator — Project length (ft) = 18, Project width (ft) = 12, Paver width (in) = 6, Paver length (in) = 9, Waste allowance (%) = 10 — the result is 634 pavers. This demonstrates the formula with a complete set of numbers rather than a hidden assumption.
The result breakdown also shows Area with waste: 237.6 sq ft; Net project area: 216 sq ft. Replace the example values with field measurements and the exact product coverage, yield or package size you plan to buy.
For this paver calculator, the inputs with the greatest practical effect are project length, project width and paver width. Recalculate when any of those change; do not reuse a result from a different room, run, layer depth or product specification.
