Area = Length × Height (sq ft)
Bricks = Area × ~6.75 (standard brick)
With Waste = Bricks × (1 + waste%)
Standard brick (3.75"×2.25" face) with 3/8" mortar: ~6.75 bricks per sq ft. Modular brick: ~6.5 per sq ft.
Approximately 1 bag of mortar mix per 35–40 bricks, or 6–7 bags per 100 sq ft of wall.
Add 10% for standard work. Add 15% for complex layouts or curved walls.
A course is one horizontal row of bricks. Standard course height = 2.625" (brick height + mortar).
