Brick count from coverage rate

How to use this calculator

1. Enter wall face area (m²). Use the unit shown beside the field.
2. Enter bricks per m². Use the unit shown beside the field.
3. Enter wastage (%). Use the unit shown beside the field.
4. Select Calculate and review the result. Select Reset to restore the example inputs.

How the calculation works

ceil(Wall face area (m²)*Bricks per m²*(1+Wastage (%)/100))

Worked example

Wall face area (m²) = 10; Bricks per m² = 60; Wastage (%) = 5. Result: 630 bricks.

Understand your result

Estimate bricks from wall area and a verified laying rate. The result is expressed in bricks.

Assumptions and limitations

Openings, wall thickness and bond pattern need separate treatment; not structural advice. Results are rounded for display.
