About Tile Calculator

Our Tile Calculator is a comprehensive tool designed to help homeowners, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts accurately estimate the number of tiles needed for any tiling project. Whether you're planning to tile a bathroom floor, kitchen backsplash, or an entire room, this calculator takes the guesswork out of tile estimation.

The calculator considers various factors including room dimensions, tile sizes, and waste allowance to provide precise calculations. This helps you avoid the common problems of ordering too few tiles (requiring additional purchases that may not match) or too many tiles (wasting money on unused materials).

How to Use the Tile Calculator

  1. Measure Your Room: Enter the length and width of the area you want to tile in feet. For irregular shapes, calculate the total square footage.
  2. Enter Tile Dimensions: Input the length and width of your tiles in inches. Common sizes include 12x12, 18x18, 6x24, etc.
  3. Select Waste Allowance: Choose the appropriate waste percentage based on your tile layout:
    • 5% - Simple straight layouts
    • 10% - Standard installations (recommended)
    • 15% - Diagonal or complex patterns
    • 20% - Intricate designs or irregular spaces
  4. Add Price (Optional): Enter the cost per tile to get a total project estimate.
  5. Calculate: Click the calculate button to get your results including total tiles needed, area coverage, and estimated cost.
