Other calculators divide area by stone size. PatioPlanner lays the real pattern on your shape, counts every cut, then guides you on site.
Area divided by paver size, plus "a bit extra for cuts", is how most patios get ordered. It stops working the moment the shape has a corner cut out of it or the pattern runs diagonally.
PatioPlanner lays the pattern instead of estimating it. Drag the outline until it matches the shape in your garden, notches and all, then choose a pattern: herringbone, basket weave, windmill, Roman bond, ashlar, or a multi-format layout that interlocks up to four stone sizes. You get a count per stone size, split into full stones, half stones you can buy ready-made, and the pieces you have to cut on site. Add waste, pick a load class, and the sub-base is worked out too.
When the pallet arrives, the guide on your phone walks the pattern stone by stone, with voice and wave control, so you never touch the screen with dusty gloves on.
