Measure the Paving Area
Measure the finished length and width of the area to be paved.
Paving area = Length × Width

How this calculator works
Paving area is calculated from area length × area width.
Paver face area is calculated after converting millimetres to metres.
The paving area is divided by one paver face area to estimate the basic quantity.
Waste allowance is added before the final paver quantity is rounded upward.
Estimated cost is final paver quantity × price per paver.
PAVER PLANNING GUIDE
Plan Paver Quantities, Waste and Cost Before You Order
Measure the paving area, confirm the paver size, allow for cuts and breakage, and estimate the quantity and material cost before ordering.
Confirm the Paver Size
Use the actual face dimensions of one paver. Millimetres are converted to metres.
Paver face area =
(Length ÷ 1000) × (Width ÷ 1000)
Calculate the Base Quantity
Divide the paving area by one paver face area to estimate the basic quantity.
Base pavers =
⌈Paving area ÷ Paver face area⌉
Add Waste Allowance
Allow extra pavers for cuts, breakage and complex pattern layouts.
Final pavers =
⌈Exact base × (1 + Waste ÷ 100)⌉
Check Extra Pavers
See how many additional pavers are included after applying the waste allowance.
Extra pavers =
Final pavers − Base pavers
Estimate Material Cost
Enter a price per paver to estimate the material cost.
Paver cost =
Final pavers × Price per paver
Before You Order Pavers
Confirm actual paver dimensions, cuts, pattern layout, waste allowance and supplier pack sizes.
Bedding, jointing materials, site preparation and labour are separate from this estimate.
