How the calculation works

Planning calculation

Paver area converts square inches to square feet; project area ÷ paver area rounds up before waste.

How to use this calculator

  1. 1Enter measured project dimensions and quantities.
  2. 2Adjust material, spacing, waste or density assumptions to match the project.
  3. 3Review the live planning quantities.
  4. 4Round purchasing quantities appropriately and confirm field conditions.

Understanding the result

Base count covers net geometry; purchase count includes the selected waste percentage.

Results use the units shown beside each field and output.

Important limitations

  • Joint spacing and pattern cuts are represented only through the waste allowance.
  • Verify actual packaged count, dimensions and pattern coverage with the supplier.
