Formula used

Measured area = length × width. One paver area = (paver length mm ÷ 1,000) × (paver width mm ÷ 1,000). Base pavers = ceiling(measured area ÷ one paver area). Order pavers = ceiling(base pavers × (1 + waste percent ÷ 100)).

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Best for paver quantity and a printable job note. Confirm pallet rounding, colour batches and site preparation before purchase.

  • The paved area is treated as a rectangle. Split irregular areas into rectangles and add them before using the calculator.
  • Paver length and width are entered as the visible face size of one paver in millimetres.
  • The waste allowance covers cuts, chipped units, breakage, pattern matching, edge losses and a small on-site reserve.
  • Joint spacing, bedding sand, edge restraints, sub-base depth, drainage fall, compaction and labour are outside this quantity calculation.
  • Supplier pallets, bundle sizes and colour-batch availability may require rounding above the calculator result.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: print the measured area, paver face size and waste percentage before ordering. If the layout uses diagonals, curves, herringbone, borders or many small cuts, raise the allowance and confirm pack rounding with the supplier.

Visual grid

This result measures part of the space you live in

Length, area, volume and material estimates are grid problems too: measure the space, account for edges and allowances, then turn the pattern into a number you can use.

Method

Measured area = length × width. One paver area = (paver length mm ÷ 1,000) × (paver width mm ÷ 1,000). Base pavers = ceiling(measured area ÷ one paver area). Order pavers = ceiling(base pavers × (1 + waste percent ÷ 100)).

  1. A 6 m by 3 m patio has 18 m² of measured area. A 200 mm by 100 mm paver has 0.2 × 0.1 = 0.02 m² of face area. 18 ÷ 0.02 = 900 base pavers. With 10% allowance, 900 × 1.10 = 990 pavers to order.

Assumptions

  • The paved area is treated as a rectangle. Split irregular areas into rectangles and add them before using the calculator.
  • Paver length and width are entered as the visible face size of one paver in millimetres.
  • The waste allowance covers cuts, chipped units, breakage, pattern matching, edge losses and a small on-site reserve.
  • Joint spacing, bedding sand, edge restraints, sub-base depth, drainage fall, compaction and labour are outside this quantity calculation.
