Paver count ≈ surface area / joint-inclusive paver footprint, plus waste.

Inputs and units

  • Surface area (m²): Enter your value in the format and unit shown.
  • Paver length (mm): Enter your value in the format and unit shown.
  • Paver width (mm): Enter your value in the format and unit shown.

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.
