Taking a moment to verify your inputs will ensure the most accurate results.
For the best results when using the Tile Calculator, follow these expert tips:
Divide your area by the area of one tile. Always add 10-15% extra for waste and cuts.
Measure length and width of the area, calculate total sq ft, then divide by tile sq ft.
Extra tiles account for cuts around edges, corners, and fixtures. Having spares also helps if tiles break or need future replacement.
Most tile boxes contain 10 tiles, though this varies. Check the box label for the exact count and total coverage area.
Convert tile dimensions to meters, multiply for tile area, then divide the room area in square meters by the tile area.
Larger tiles with minimal grout lines make small rooms appear bigger. Diagonal patterns can also visually expand the space.
Measure the wall height and width, calculate area, and divide by tile area. The same formula works for walls and floors.
For standard tiles, grout lines are minimal and do not significantly change tile counts. For mosaic tiles, add 5% more for grout spacing.
