How this calculator works

Estimate pavers required for patios, walkways and paved areas.

pavers = area ÷ [(L + joint)(W + joint)] × (1 + waste%)

How to use the Paver Calculator

1. Enter project inputs

  • Paved area (m²)
  • Paver length (mm)
  • Paver width (mm)
  • Joint width (mm)
  • Waste allowance (%)

2. Review the results

  • Pavers to order
  • Before waste
  • Modular paver area

3. Check the calculation

The calculator uses the following core relationship:

pavers = area ÷ [(L + joint)(W + joint)] × (1 + waste%)

Estimating note: Actual material quantities can vary with site conditions, detailing, product dimensions, installation method, and waste.
