Bricks Calculator
Estimate how many bricks you need for a wall from square feet or length × height. Includes wastage allowance.
About the Bricks Calculator
Enter your wall area in square feet (or length and height) to find how many bricks are required. Choose a standard brick size or enter custom dimensions.
Formula: Bricks = Area (sq ft) × Bricks per sq ft × (1 + Wastage%). Bricks per sq ft depends on brick face size plus mortar joint.
Frequently asked questions
How many bricks per square foot?
For a standard US modular brick (7⅝″ × 2¼″) with a 3/8″ mortar joint, you need about 6.9 bricks per square foot. Actual count varies with brick size and mortar thickness.
Why add wastage?
Cutting, breakage, and uneven walls typically require 5–10% extra bricks. Adjust the wastage field to match your project.
Can I enter area directly in square feet?
Yes. Choose "Square feet (direct)" and enter total wall area. Or use "Wall length × height" to calculate area from dimensions.
