Concrete Block Calculator for Masonry Contractors

Ordering the right amount of concrete masonry units (CMU) is critical for keeping masonry jobs on schedule and on budget. Our free CMU block calculator uses the industry standard multiplier (1.125 blocks per square foot) to give you an instant, highly accurate block count.

Because all standard CMU widths (4", 6", 8", 10", 12") share the exact same 8" x 16" nominal face, the total number of blocks you need remains the same regardless of the wall depth. Simply enter your total wall square footage and your preferred waste percentage (usually 5%) to instantly calculate your order quantity.
