How to use the Paver Calculator

Estimate individual patio pavers and total covered area from paver dimensions.

Calculation formula

Pavers = ceil(patio sq ft × (1 + waste%) ÷ (paver length × paver width / 144)).

Recommended steps

1. Enter values using the units shown beside each field.
2. Review whether the example assumptions match your situation.
3. Run the calculator and compare the key metrics.
4. Use the source data or official rates when precision matters.

Known limitations

Ignores joint widths, border patterns, base material and slope; use actual nominal coverage for manufacturer-specific pavers.
