How many bricks for a wall?
About 7 bricks per sq ft for modular size
How much mortar per brick?
7 bags per 1,000 bricks is standard
Why add waste factor?
10-15% covers cuts and breakage
Our brick calculator uses industry-standard formulas to determine the exact number of bricks and mortar bags needed for your project. The calculation accounts for wall area, brick size, mortar joints, and a waste factor for cuts and breakage.
Formula
Wall Area (sq ft) × Bricks per sq ft × (1 + Waste %) = Total Bricks
Total Bricks ÷ 1000 × 7 = Mortar Bags (80 lb)
