count = ceil(area × 144 / (paver length × width) × (1 + waste / 100)); packs = ceil(count / pack size).

STEP BY STEP

How to use paver calculator

  1. Check the input units and assumptions.
  2. Review the result and example.

IN PRACTICE

Example

A 200 ft² patio using 8 × 4 in pavers has a paver face area of 32 in² = 0.2222 ft². The theoretical count is 200 ÷ 0.2222 ≈ 900. With 10% waste, the order estimate is 990 pavers.

GOOD TO KNOW

Which assumptions should I check?

Joint width, manufacturer coverage, spacer lugs and multi-size patterns can change effective coverage. Do not use outside dimensions when a manufacturer publishes pack coverage. Base material, bedding sand and edge restraint are separate quantities.
