Calculate Number of Pavers
Use this tool to easily calculate how many tiles or pavers you need for your area. Enter the dimensions, choose a tile size and instantly see the number of tiles required.
How do you calculate how many pavers you need?
To calculate how many pavers you need, divide the total area by the size of the tile. This tool does that automatically and takes whole pavers per row into account.
It is also important to allow for cutting waste. When laying pavers, you often need to cut pieces to size, which means extra pavers are required. You can therefore easily add a percentage for cutting waste.
What can you calculate with this tool?
- Number of pavers per row (horizontal and vertical)- Total number of pavers - Number of pavers including cutting waste - Total area in m² - Offcuts at the edges - Total cost (optional)
What applications is this tool suitable for?
This tile calculator is ideal for:- Building a garden or patio- Paving a driveway- Laying pavers- Calculating indoor flooring
Calculating carefully in advance helps prevent you from buying too few or too many pavers.
How much cutting waste should I allow for? On average, 5% to 10% cutting waste is recommended, depending on the pattern and shape of the area.
What is the difference between pavers and brick pavers? Pavers are usually larger and square, while brick pavers are smaller and often rectangular.
Can I calculate multiple areas? Yes, you can enter multiple areas and they will be added together automatically.
Why do I see offcuts? Offcuts occur when the area cannot be divided exactly by the tile size.
