Paver Calculator
Estimate paver quantity by project shape, joint spacing, laying pattern, cutting allowance, and optional cost.
Paver Calculator
Paver cost calculator results
Choose a project shape, then enter project and paver dimensions.
Choose the shape and pattern before counting
Measure the finished paved surface and use the paver's actual or nominal dimensions consistently with the planned joint. Pattern suggestions are planning allowances for cuts and breakage, not supplier rules. Confirm pallet quantities and dye lots before ordering.
For aggregate and bedding sand, use the paver base calculator; for sealer after installation, use the paver sealer calculator.
FAQ
Which project shapes can the paver calculator measure?
Choose a rectangle, circle, triangle, or L-shaped area. The L-shape method subtracts one rectangular corner cutout from a larger rectangle.
How does the laying pattern change the estimate?
The selected pattern supplies a planning allowance for cuts and breakage. Straight layouts use a lower suggestion than diagonal herringbone. Enter your own waste percentage when the installer or supplier provides one.
Does joint spacing affect how many pavers I need?
Yes. The calculator treats each paver plus its planned joint as one module. Use actual dimensions and joint width consistently so the piece count is not overstated or understated.
Does this include paver base and bedding sand?
No. Use the separate paver base calculator for aggregate and bedding sand so the two estimates keep their own inputs and assumptions.
Is the installed cost a contractor quote?
No. It multiplies area by a local rate you enter. Excavation, drainage, access, pattern complexity, edge restraints, and demolition may be quoted separately.
