Brick wall

  1. Type your measurements. Feet-inch (12' 6 1/2"), decimal feet and metric all work; a bare number means feet or metres.
  2. Need is the exact amount. Buy rounds up to whole bags, sheets or pieces, with the waste % included.
  3. "How we got it" shows the formula, so you can check every number.
  4. A "Check this" note means a value looks unusual. Have a look before you buy.

How we got it

bricks = ⌈(L × H − openings) × wythes ÷ ((brick L + joint) × (brick H + joint)) × (1 + waste)⌉

Estimate only — bag yields vary by brand. Check your local building code.
