How it Calculates the Results
The calculator determines the total number of pavers required based on the selected paver type (6×6 or 6×9). It calculates the area of each paver in square feet and divides the total square footage by the paver area to get the total number of pavers required. It then adds the waste factor percentage to this total to account for potential waste during the project.
