About Tile Calculator
What is a Tile Calculator?
A tile calculator helps you determine how many tiles you need for a flooring or wall tiling project. It accounts for room dimensions, tile size, grout spacing, and waste factor to give you an accurate estimate of materials needed and project cost.
How to Use
- Select your measurement unit (feet, inches, meters, or centimeters)
- Enter the length and width of your room or area
- Select tile unit and enter tile dimensions
- Enter grout spacing (typically 0.125" to 0.5")
- Set waste factor percentage (10% for simple, 15-20% for complex)
- Optionally enter price per tile for cost estimation
- View results including tiles needed, boxes, and total cost
Waste Factor Guidelines
- 5-10%: Simple rectangular rooms, straight tile layout
- 10-15%: Standard rooms with some cuts around fixtures
- 15-20%: Diagonal patterns, complex layouts, many corners
- 20-25%: Intricate patterns, herringbone, or hexagonal tiles
Features
- Multiple unit support (feet, inches, meters, centimeters)
- Accurate tile count with waste factor
- Grout spacing consideration
- Box quantity calculation (10 tiles per box)
- Cost estimation
- Common tile size presets

Pro Tips
- • Always round up to the nearest whole tile - you can't buy partial tiles
- • Keep extra tiles for future repairs and replacements
- • Measure your room multiple times to ensure accuracy
- • Account for doorways, cabinets, and other obstacles
- • Consider buying an extra box for complex cuts and breakage
