Tile Calculator

The Tile Calculator helps estimate the number of tiles needed for flooring, walls, or other tiling projects. It provides a quick calculation, including waste considerations.

Formula:

Total Area (sq ft) = Room Length × Room Width

Tile Area (sq ft) = (Tile Length × Tile Width) ÷ 144

Tiles Needed = Total Area ÷ Tile Area

Waste Adjustment = Tiles Needed × (Waste % ÷ 100)

How to Use the Tile Calculator

  • Enter the length and width of the room in feet.
  • Input the tile dimensions in inches.
  • Provide the cost per tile for budgeting.
  • Select a waste percentage to account for cuts and breakage.
  • Click "Calculate" to get the number of tiles and total cost.

Why Use a Tile Calculator?

  • Avoid ordering too few or too many tiles.
  • Estimate costs accurately for budgeting.
  • Plan for cutting and breakage with waste adjustment.
