Paver calculator

Estimate the number of rectangular pavers to purchase using project size, actual paver face dimensions, joint width, and cut waste.

Surface layout

Calculate the pavers to order

Measurement system
Use zero for products installed without an open joint.
Overage

Covers spillage, uneven depth, settling, and minor measurement differences.

Calculation assumptions
  • This is an area/module estimate, not a row-by-column layout; it assumes cut pieces can be reused within a regular rectangular field.
  • The project is a rectangle with uniform coverage and one joint between adjacent pavers.
  • Paver dimensions are actual face dimensions; edge restraint and border courses are not added separately.
  • The selected 10% overage covers ordinary cuts, pattern loss, and breakage.

Planning guidance

Measure and choose assumptions before calculating

Surface-unit math

How paver quantity is calculated

1

Project area

length × width gives the rectangular paved area.

2

Installed module

(paver length + joint) × (paver width + joint).

3

Whole-unit order

Divide area by module coverage, add cut waste, then round up.

Measurement boundary

Count field pavers, then verify the pattern

Use actual face dimensions and the intended joint. Borders, soldier courses, curves, diagonals, mixed-size patterns, and manufacturer bundle quantities can change the final order.

Area-based layout estimate

The result divides total field area by installed module area; it does not multiply exact rows by columns or optimize cuts. It assumes cut pieces can be reused within a regular rectangular field. The calculator does not design the pavement base, drainage, slope, edge restraint, or load capacity.
