Paver calculator
Estimate pavers by the installed area of one repeating module.
Formula
Pavers = ceil[area × (1+extra/100) / (module length × module width)]
Net paved area: 200 ft² · Module length with joint: 8 in · Module width with joint: 4 in · Area with allowance ≈ (200 ft² × 0.09290304 m²/ft²)×(1+(5)÷100) · Pavers ≈ ceil(((19.5096384)÷((8 in × 0.0254 m/in)×(4 in × 0.0254 m/in)))×(1-8.881784197001252e-16))
How to use
- Enter net paved area.
- Enter installed module dimensions, including joints.
- Choose cutting allowance and read pavers.
Examples
- 10 m² using 20 × 10 cm modules needs 500 pavers before waste.
Frequently asked questions
Use actual or module dimensions?
Use installed coverage dimensions from the supplier; include the intended joint once.
Does this plan a pattern?
No. It is an area estimate for one size, not a border or mixed-size layout.
Are sand and base included?
No. Estimate bedding, base depth, drainage and edge restraints separately.
