The Brick Calculator

The brick calculator is a simple tool that allows you to calculate the number of bricks required to build a wall or structure using specific brick types from our brick library.

The brick calculator uses standard building industry variables for the most common type of brick and mortar spread. You can alter the standard settings for the brick calculator by selecting the settings button. You can review the detailed instructions for using the brick calculator as required but we feel most in industry will be familiar with the options and inputs provided.

If you cannot find the brick type that you are looking for, please contact the team at iCalculator™ who maintain this site and we will add the brick information to our brick data sheet, this will allow you and others to use the dimensions and data from the brick data sheets to produce accurate brick requirement calculations in the future.

Notes on Brick Selection

Enter a name, Length and height then click on 'add' to add the details to the wall calculation.
Add as many windows, doors and voids as you need.
Volume is based on single skin wall, this is altered automatically in the main calculation if building a duble skin wall etc.
When adding several windows and doors it is worthwhile using a name that makes sense when you refer to the project in the future, for example front elevation window, rear left kitchen window, door to lounge, void for passageway to diner etc. This can also be useful when double checking your measurements before you order the materials from your supplier.
This calculator is for calculating wall voids only, not wall recesses (when part of a wall remains on a double or two and a half brick wall).
