Brick Calculator

Calculate how many bricks your wall needs.

Enter your wall length and height to see how many bricks you need.

How this calculation works

This brick calculator estimates how many bricks you need for a wall or facade. We multiply the wall length by its height for the area, then apply about 7 bricks per square foot — the standard for modular bricks with mortar joints.

We add a 5% waste allowance for breakage and cuts, then round up. The cost estimate assumes about $0.60 per brick; mortar is extra (roughly one bag per 100–125 bricks).

Brick sizes vary, so adjust the count if you're using non-modular or oversized bricks. For openings like doors and windows, you can subtract their area for a tighter estimate.
