Formula
What the result includes
Patio area is divided by individual paver area; separate depth calculations estimate base and sand volume.
Whole-item results such as bags, rolls, blocks, and pallets are rounded up. Decimal volume or weight results remain estimates so you can compare bulk options.

Common questions
Paver Calculator FAQ
Does joint width affect the count?
This estimator uses face dimensions and does not separately add a joint. Product coverage data can be more accurate for interlocking systems.
Are base and sand amounts included?
Yes. Enter the planned compacted depths to estimate each volume.
