The Tile Calculator is a simple and efficient tool designed to help you estimate the number of tiles required for your flooring or wall tiling project. By entering the dimensions of your space and the size of a tile, the calculator quickly determines how many tiles you need, including an optional waste percentage. It helps you plan better, reduce material waste, and avoid unnecessary expenses during construction or renovation.

Tile Calculation Theory & Guide
Master the art and science of accurate tile estimation
Basic Calculation Formula
Step 1: Calculate Total Area
Total Area = Length × Width
Step 2: Calculate Tile Area
Tile Area = Tile Length × Tile Width
Step 3: Calculate Number of Tiles
Tiles Needed = Total Area ÷ Tile Area
Step 4: Add Waste Factor
Final Tiles = Tiles Needed × (1 + Waste %)
Waste Percentage Guidelines
5% Waste
Square tiles, straight installation, experienced installer
10% Waste
Standard rectangular tiles, normal room layout
15% Waste
Diagonal installation, complex room shapes
20% Waste
Large format tiles, natural stone, complex patterns

- • Trim and accessories
- • Installation rate
- • Pattern complexity
- • Surface preparation
Professional Installation Tips
Before You Start
- Always order 10-15% extra tiles
- Check for size variations in natural stone
- Plan your layout from the room center
- Test fit tiles before permanent installation
During Installation
- Use proper spacers for consistent gaps
- Check for level regularly with a spirit level
