Paver Calculator
Count pavers for a patio, walkway, or driveway.
Enter your patio or walkway dimensions and your paver size to get the number of pavers needed, including a waste allowance for cuts and breakage along curves and edges.
How it works
Divide the surface area by the area of one paver, then add waste. A 12×12-inch paver covers one square foot. Add more waste for circular or herringbone layouts that require many cut pieces.
Frequently asked questions
How many pavers do I need?
Divide the surface area by the area of one paver and add waste. A 12×10 ft patio with 12×12-inch pavers needs about 126 pavers with 5% waste.
How much waste should I add for pavers?
5% for a simple rectangular layout, and 10–15% for circular, diagonal, or herringbone patterns with many cuts.
Do I need sand and base under pavers?
Yes — a compacted gravel base topped with about 1 inch of bedding sand. Use the paver sand calculator for the sand layer.
