Whole packages round up. Prices include only the items you enter. Delivery, tax and installation may be extra.

How to calculate

Every rate starts at zero because a national average cannot represent a site-specific quote. The total covers entered line items only. Waste increases paver materials, not the labor area.

Subtotal = area × paver rate × allowance factor + area × (labor rate + preparation rate) + fixed costs

Worked example

Length (ft): 16 · Width (ft): 12 · Extra material (%): 10 · Pavers (USD / sq ft): 0 · Labor (USD / sq ft): 0 · Base, bedding & site prep (USD / sq ft): 0 · Delivery & other costs (USD): 0.

These inputs produce 0 USD entered-cost subtotal. Change the measurements above to match your project.

Before you order

Include edging, excavation, removal, drainage, delivery, equipment and tax in your rates or fixed costs. A zero subtotal means no costs have been supplied.

For an irregular footprint, split the project into rectangles. Calculate each section and combine unrounded quantities before rounding the final order. Ask the supplier to confirm product yield and available package sizes.

Common questions

Is the allowance an installation recommendation?

No. It is an editable purchasing buffer. Cuts, spills and product requirements vary. Confirm the allowance for your layout.

Does this include installation costs?

Only prices you explicitly enter are included. A material-only result is not an installed quote. Request an itemized quote for site preparation, access, removal, drainage, labor, delivery and tax.
