About this calculator
Overview
Brick calculations depend on the wall area and the size of the brick including the mortar joint. Standard modular bricks usually require about 6.75 bricks per square foot when using a 3/8-inch mortar joint. This calculator helps you determine the precise materials needed for your masonry project.

Pro Tips
For a standard 4-inch deep brick wall, 1 bag of mortar is typically enough for about 100-125 bricks.
Remember to subtract the area of doors and windows from your total wall area calculation.
If building a double-thickness wall (two layers of bricks), double the resulting count.
