Estimate how many bricks and bags of mortar your wall needs. Each dimension has its own unit selector (in/ft/yd/m).
Brick is estimated by wall area. Measure each wall (any unit), subtract openings, and multiply the net area by bricks-per-square-foot. A standard modular brick with a 3/8-inch joint takes about 6.86 per sq ft - use the preset for other sizes. Add about 5% for breakage, and plan roughly 7 mortar bags per 1,000 bricks.
Use the brick calculator to turn wall area into a brick count, mortar estimate and budget. The result depends on the bricks per square foot value, so choose the preset that best matches the face size and joint layout.
Start with the calculator that matches how your material is sold: area, length, volume, count, weight or electrical load. Enter one work area at a time, use the unit selector beside each measurement, then review the order quantity and cost fields before comparing supplier quotes.
Most calculators can save the current estimate in your browser, reload named estimates, print a copy, switch to dark mode or create a shareable link. Those tools are intended for planning and communication; always confirm final quantities, coverage rates, density, code requirements and pricing with the supplier or contractor responsible for the work.
