How it works

Tile count = floor area ÷ tile face area, rounded up. Apply cutting allowance to total required area before rounding up. Boxes are rounded up to whole units. This area-based estimate does not model grout joints, layout patterns, irregular rooms or breakage beyond the selected allowance.

Tile Calculator FAQs

How many extra tiles should I buy?

The cutting allowance lets you add extra material for cuts and breakage. Complex layouts may require more.

Does the tile count include grout joints?

No. The calculation uses tile face area, not a detailed tile layout with grout joints.

Frequently asked questions

Are prices live supplier prices?

No. All prices are entered by you; the tool does not fetch local prices or currency exchange rates.

Does changing units change the project size?

No. Existing dimensions are converted to equivalent values when switching between imperial and metric.

Are these engineering calculations?

No. These are preliminary material quantity estimates. Structural design, foundations and local code compliance require appropriate professional review.

Can I share an estimate?

Yes. The share button creates a URL containing the calculator's input values. It does not upload your project data.
