Tile Calculator
Calculate the tiles and boxes needed from total area, tile dimensions, and waste allowance.
Area, tiles, and boxes
The calculator converts total area and tile dimensions to meters, then rounds upward because partial tiles cannot be purchased.
Tiles = ceiling(area including waste ÷ tile area)
Using a waste allowance
The allowance covers cuts and breakage. Actual needs depend on the pattern, room geometry, and reusable offcuts. Boxes are also rounded upward when tiles per box is supplied.
Frequently asked questions
Can I mix square meters and centimeters?
Yes. Select area and tile units independently.
Why are quantities rounded up?
A fractional requirement still requires a complete tile or box.
Which waste percentage should I use?
It depends on the layout and project; enter an allowance appropriate to your plan.
