Tile Calculator

Calculate tile quantity, boxes, waste, and estimated project cost.

Measurement guide

Measure the tiled surface, then confirm actual tile dimensions and pieces per sealed box.

Record each area separately, keep units consistent, and update the estimate with a final site measurement before ordering.

Assumptions and limitations

The estimate assumes a rectangular grid; diagonal patterns, niches, borders, breakage, and dye-lot matching need extra waste.

Prices, tax, and delivery are user-entered planning figures, not supplier quotations.

Worked example

A 10 × 12 ft floor is 120 sq ft. With 10% waste and twelve 1 ft² tiles per box, plan for 132 tiles or 11 boxes.

Frequently asked questions

What waste allowance should I use?

Simple rectangles often start at 5–10%; complex patterns, many cuts, or fragile material justify more based on the installation plan.

Why is the purchase quantity rounded up?

Packages and whole pieces usually cannot be bought fractionally, so purchasing rounds up while the exact quantity remains visible.

Can I order directly from this result?

Not without verification. Re-measure, check the product label, batch and stock, and confirm with the supplier or a qualified professional.

What does the cost estimate include?

Material cost uses the rounded purchase quantity, then adds entered labor, delivery, and tax; unlisted accessories are excluded.
