Paving Bricks Calculator
Planning a paving project can be tricky if you don’t know how many bricks you need. Our paving bricks calculator makes it easy to estimate the exact quantity of bricks required for your driveway, patio, or walkway.
Note: This calculator provides an estimate only. Actual requirements may vary based on pattern complexity, cutting requirements, and site conditions. Standard brick pallets typically contain 400-500 bricks depending on the manufacturer.
Why Use a Paving Bricks Calculator?
A paving bricks calculator helps you:
- Estimate material needs before buying
- Avoid wastage and overspending
- Save time with quick, accurate calculations
- Plan labor and costs for contractors
Without a calculator, many homeowners end up buying too many or too few bricks — which can delay the project and increase costs.
How to Calculate Paving Bricks per Square Meter
On average, 50 standard bevel paving bricks are required per square meter (m²). Here’s a quick formula:
Bricks Required = Area in m² × 50 (standard bricks per m²)
Example:
If your driveway is 30 m², you’ll need:
30 × 50 = 1,500 bricks
Always add 5–10% extra for cutting and breakages.
Using the Paving Bricks Calculator
Instead of doing manual math, simply enter:
- Length (in meters)
- Width (in meters)
- Brick type (bevel, clay, or interlocking)
The calculator will instantly show:
- Total area (m²)
- Number of bricks needed
- Recommended extra bricks for wastage
