Paver Cost Analysis

Paver Cost Formula

Total Cost = (Paving Area × (1 + Waste Factor) × Paver Cost) + (Paving Area × Labor Cost) + Base Material Cost

The total paver cost includes materials (with waste), labor, and base preparation materials. Additional costs may include edge restraints, sand, sealers, and equipment rental.
