Brick Calculator
Estimate the number of bricks needed for a wall.
How It Works
Brick face = (7.625 + joint) × (2.25 + joint) ÷ 144. Bricks = ceil(Area ÷ Brick face).
Example
A 20 ft × 8 ft wall with 3/8 in joints needs about 1,098 bricks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many bricks per square foot?
About 6.75–7 modular bricks per sq ft with standard 3/8 in joints.
Why does joint thickness matter?
Thicker joints take up more space, so fewer bricks are needed per square foot.
Should I add a waste factor?
Yes, 5–10% for cuts at corners and openings, plus chipped bricks.
