How it works
The formula behind this calculator.

count = wallArea / brickArea; brickArea = (length + joint) × (height + joint)

wallArea
Total wall area in m² or ft²
brickArea
Brick + mortar joint (typically 215 × 65 mm + 10 mm)

Standard bricks are 215 × 102.5 × 65 mm. With 10 mm mortar joints, each brick covers 75 × 225 mm = 0.0169 m². Add 5% for breakage.

Example: 10 m² wall, 215×65 mm bricks → ~640 bricks (no waste)

Ref: ASTM C62 (Standard Specification for Building Brick)

Tips
  • 💡 Standard bricks are 215 × 102.5 × 65 mm with 10 mm mortar joints.
  • 💡 Order 5% extra for breakage and cuts.
