How it Works
This tile calculator helps you determine how many tiles you'll need for your flooring or wall project, along with the estimated cost.
How It Calculates
The calculator uses the following formulas:
- Area to be tiled = Length × Width
- Area per tile = Tile Length × Tile Width
- Number of tiles needed = Area to be tiled ÷ Area per tile × (1 + Waste Factor)
- Total cost = Number of tiles × Cost per tile + (Optional) Grout cost
About the Waste Factor
Including a waste factor is essential for tiling projects:
- 10%: Standard rectangular room with few cuts
- 15%: For rooms with more corners or obstacles
- 20%: Complex layouts, diagonal patterns, or intricate designs
Common Tile Sizes
Here are common tile sizes for reference:
- Floor tiles: 12"×12", 18"×18", 24"×24", 12"×24"
- Wall tiles: 3"×6", 4"×4", 6"×6", 12"×12"
- Mosaic tiles: 1"×1", 2"×2" (typically on mesh sheets)
