How to Calculate Pavers for a Porch

Follow these steps to get the right amount of pavers for any porch project, then use the calculator below to skip the math.

  1. Measure the area. Multiply length × width in feet to get square footage.
  2. Apply standard depth. A porch typically uses 4" of pavers.
  3. Convert to piece. Apply the standard pavers coverage factor.
  4. Add overage. Multiply by 1.10 to cover 10% waste.
  5. Round up. Always round up to the next whole piece or bag.
