What does this tool do?
Brick count depends on the face size of the unit and the mortar joint. This calculator uses standard bricks-per-square-foot figures for modular, queen and king bricks, then adds a breakage allowance.
The Formula
Bricks = ⌈Wall area × Bricks per sq ft × (1 + Waste ÷ 100)⌉Frequently Asked Questions
