Brick Calculator (Wall)
Bricks and mortar for a wall — standard modular sizes, openings deducted.
Quick anchors: ~50 bricks per m² of 115 wall, ~100 per m² of 230 wall (traditional 9-inch: 494/m³). Mortar quietly consumes a quarter of the wall — and most of the cement budget.
Formula
Brick Calculator (Wall) is a free brick calculator for civil engineers, contractors and quantity surveyors — instant, accurate and 100% client-side, with the governing formula and reference shown next to the result so the number can be defended, not just quoted.
About Brick Calculator (Wall)
Bricks and mortar for a wall — standard modular sizes, openings deducted. The calculation implements ≈500 modular bricks/m³ of wall; mortar ≈ 25% of wall volume (IS 1077; CPWD norms). Quick anchors: ~50 bricks per m² of 115 wall, ~100 per m² of 230 wall (traditional 9-inch: 494/m³). Mortar quietly consumes a quarter of the wall — and most of the cement budget.

Frequently asked questions
What formula does the Brick Calculator (Wall) use?+
It computes ≈500 modular bricks/m³ of wall; mortar ≈ 25% of wall volume, per IS 1077; CPWD norms. The formula is displayed under the result along with a worked example substituted with your own inputs.
What should I keep in mind when using this calculator?+
Quick anchors: ~50 bricks per m² of 115 wall, ~100 per m² of 230 wall (traditional 9-inch: 494/m³). Mortar quietly consumes a quarter of the wall — and most of the cement budget.
Does it include wastage?+
Yes — standard wastage/bulking factors are built in and stated in the formula line, so the quantity is an orderable number, not a bare geometric volume.
Is the Brick Calculator (Wall) free to use?+
Yes — completely free, no sign-up, no limits. It runs client-side in your browser, so inputs stay private and results are instant even on slow connections.
