Walkway Paver Count Calculator
Dividing the total walkway area by the area of one paver gives the theoretical count; adding a waste share for edge cuts gives the real order quantity.
Your numbers
Pavers needed
35
Walkway area
5m²
Formula
Pavers needed = ⌈(Walkway length (m) × Walkway width (m)) ÷ (Paver side (cm) × Paver other side (cm) ÷ 10,000) × (1 + Cutting waste ÷ 100)⌉
For a curved or irregularly shaped walkway, budget 15%+ waste.

Frequently asked questions
QHow is Walkway Paver Count Calculator calculated?
Pavers needed = ⌈(Walkway length (m) × Walkway width (m)) ÷ (Paver side (cm) × Paver other side (cm) ÷ 10,000) × (1 + Cutting waste ÷ 100)⌉ — Dividing the total walkway area by the area of one paver gives the theoretical count; adding a waste share for edge cuts gives the real order quantity.
QCan you walk through an example?
With Walkway length (m) 5m, Walkway width (m) 1m, Paver side (cm) 40cm, Paver other side (cm) 40cm, Cutting waste 10%, the answer is Pavers needed 35.
QWhat do I need to enter?
Enter Walkway length (m), Walkway width (m), Paver side (cm), Paver other side (cm), Cutting waste. The result recalculates as you type, and an empty box counts as zero.
QHow much does the answer move if I change a number?
Changing only Walkway length (m) (m) moves the answer to Walkway length (m) (m) 2.5 → Pavers needed 18 and Walkway length (m) (m) 10 → Pavers needed 69. The table below lays out five steps.
QHow are the numbers rounded?
Money is shown to the nearest whole unit, percentages to one decimal place and everything else to two. What you see is rounded; the calculation itself carries the unrounded value forward.
QAnything to watch out for?
