Brick count calculator
Brick count for a wall face area, with the 5-10% waste factor masons use in practice. Three common sizes: modular, standard, and king-size.
Bricks to order
2,410 brick
~4.5 bricks per sf; 500 sf = 2252 bricks exact; with 7% waste 2410 bricks; rounded up.
Modular = ~4.5/sf; standard = ~4.2/sf; king = ~3.4/sf. Subtract openings (windows, doors) from the face area first. Bump waste to 10-15% for complex bond patterns or many cuts.
