Inputs and units
Measure the paved area and the dimensions of one paver using the units in the form. Set the extra allowance for cuts and breakage and round purchasing to supplier packs.
Calculation method
Paver count ≈ surface area / joint-inclusive paver footprint, plus waste.
Worked example
The example values are: Surface area (m²) = 20; Paver length (mm) = 200; Paver width (mm) = 100; Joint width (mm) = 3; Extra material (%) = 10; Price per paver (your currency) = 0.5
- Estimated pavers: 1,053
- Paver cost: 526.5
Assumptions and limitations
Area approximation does not model edge cuts, patterns or perimeter joint placement.
Using your result

Paving Calculator FAQs
Does it optimize a paving pattern?
No. Area-based counts do not account for the arrangement of individual cuts or reusable offcuts.
