How the Brick Calculator Calculation Works
Our brick calculator uses the standard industry method of calculating wall area and dividing by individual brick coverage including mortar joints.
Formula:
Bricks Needed = (Wall Area ÷ Brick Area with Mortar) × Wastage FactorThe calculation accounts for standard mortar joint thickness (10mm) and includes a 5% wastage allowance for breakage and cuts.
Example Calculation
Real-World Scenario:
Building a wall that is 10 feet long and 8 feet high using standard bricks (8" × 4") with 10mm mortar joints.
