Paver Calculator
Use this free paver calculator to estimate how many pavers you need for a rectangular patio, walkway or driveway.
How to Use the Paver Calculator
Enter patio dimensions, paver dimensions and waste allowance to estimate the number of pavers required.
Practical Example
A 20 ft by 15 ft patio covers 300 ft². If each paver covers 1 ft² and you add 8% waste, the order estimate is about 324 pavers.
Factors That Affect the Result
Paver size, pattern, cuts, edge layout, breakage and waste allowance all affect the final quantity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I add waste?
Yes, especially for patterns requiring many cuts.
Can I use custom paver sizes?
Yes. Enter the actual dimensions.
Does this include base material?
No. It estimates pavers only.
Paver Quantity Planning
Measure the project area and enter the individual paver size to estimate how many units are required. Patterns, borders and cuts around edges create waste, so order more than the exact mathematical count. Curved patios and diagonal layouts generally require a larger allowance than simple rectangular patterns. Also account separately for base material, bedding sand and jointing material. Round the paver quantity up to full packages or pallets before purchasing.
