Bricks and mortar calculator.
Estimate brick count, mortar, sand and cement for a wall with editable thickness and mix ratio.
Bricks and mortar inputs
Planning estimate using the entered nominal brick and joint dimensions. Excludes openings, bond pattern, piers, lintels, wastage and structural specification.
Method: Wall volume is length × height × thickness. Brick count divides that volume by entered nominal brick dimensions including joint; remaining volume is dry mortar divided by the mix ratio.
Inputs used: Wall length = 10 ft; Wall height = 8 ft; Wall thickness = 9 in; Brick length = 190 mm; Brick width = 90 mm; Brick height = 90 mm; Mortar joint = 10 mm; Sand parts in cement:sand = 6 parts
Assumptions: Site and equipment inputs are planning assumptions supplied by the user or displayed by the calculator.
Scope and warnings: Planning estimate using the entered nominal brick and joint dimensions. Excludes openings, bond pattern, piers, lintels, wastage and structural specification. Obtain site-specific engineering and equipment checks before purchase or installation.
How this bricks and mortar calculator works
Wall volume is length × height × thickness. Brick count divides that volume by entered nominal brick dimensions including joint; remaining volume is dry mortar divided by the mix ratio.
A worked example
A 10 ft by 8 ft, 9-inch wall produces about twice the volume of the same 4.5-inch partition wall.
Can this be used for a structural order?
No. Openings, bond, piers, lintels, brick type and design require a drawing and qualified review.
Calculations run on your device. Review your results before exporting or sharing them.
Use drawing dimensions, then deduct separately
Wall thickness and brick dimensions drive volume. Enter a 4.5-inch partition or 9-inch wall deliberately; openings, piers and bond pattern are separate checks.
Mortar ratio is a material-planning input, not a structural specification. Site moisture, brick absorption and wastage can change sand and cement demand.
