Mortar Calculator

Estimate mortar volume and bags for masonry joints.

Enter all measurements in one unit system. Results are planning estimates; check product guidance before ordering.

How this estimate works

The calculator applies: ceil(wallArea x jointThickness x wallThickness x density x (1 + waste/100) / bagMass). Keep measurements in one unit system and round up when suppliers sell whole units.

Limitations

Brick size, voids, mix type, tooling, and site losses require a mason or product data check.
