How the paver calculator works
Estimate the number of pavers needed for a rectangular patio, walkway or hardscape area. Enter the paver dimensions, layout area and waste allowance.
Paver count = project area ÷ paver face area, adjusted upward for the selected waste allowance. The calculator is designed to give a useful first-pass material estimate while keeping the assumptions visible. For a purchase, compare the result with the product packaging or supplier quotation.
