Bond patterns, header courses & matching mortar bags
Wall Dimensions
Total combined opening area subtracted from gross wall area before counting brick.
Brick Type & Size
Standard single-wythe veneer coursing no header bricks.
Bricks stood on end counted separately from the field wall above using the same brick size and joint.

Project Inputs
Estimates use standard brick dimensions, ASTM C270 mortar proportions, and rule-of-thumb bond-pattern multipliers for double-wythe walls. Verify exact coursing, header layout, and structural requirements with a mason or engineer before ordering.
Count bricks by the bond pattern you're actually laying, not just a flat wall area. QuickTonnage's brick calculator adds header bricks for English and Flemish bond automatically.
Brick size changes both how many units you need and how much wall they cover. Here's a quick reference.
This brick wall calculator uses your exact brick type and joint thickness instead of one flat number, so the count matches what you're actually laying.
A standard pallet typically holds around 500 modular bricks, though this varies by brick size and supplier.
About 6.5 standard modular bricks per square foot at a 3/8 inch joint. Larger brick types use fewer bricks per square foot.
A standard modular brick weighs about 4–5 lbs. A full pallet of 500 bricks can weigh over a ton.
Yes. English and Flemish bond add header courses, which use noticeably more brick per square foot than a simple running bond.
