How this tile calculator works
The calculator converts tile width and height into area, applies waste to the project area, then rounds up to whole tiles and boxes.
Assumptions
Waste allowance helps cover cuts, breakage and pattern matching. This estimate uses the tile dimensions entered and does not design a tile layout.
What this calculator does not include
This tool does not include grout, trim, substrate, labour, layout design or local supplier pricing. It is a general material estimate only.
Key terms and assumptionsShort notes about tile area, whole boxes, waste allowance and scope limits.
- Tile size
- Tile dimensions are converted into project area units before calculating tile count.
- Whole tiles and boxes
- The result rounds up to whole tiles and whole boxes because partial tiles or boxes may not be purchasable.
- Waste allowance
- Waste allowance covers cuts, breakage and pattern matching uncertainty.
- No layout design
- This calculator estimates quantities only and does not plan grout, trim, layout or substrate work.

FAQs
How do I calculate tiles needed?
Enter the project area or dimensions, tile size, waste allowance and tiles per box. The calculator rounds up to whole tiles and boxes.
Can I use this for wall tile and floor tile?
Yes, for simple area estimates. Use the same unit system throughout and enter the area you want tiled.
Why does tile size use inches or millimetres?
US mode uses tile dimensions in inches and metric mode uses millimetres, then converts that tile size into the project area unit.
Does this include grout?
No. Grout width can affect layout, but this version focuses on tile count, boxes and waste allowance.
Why include a waste allowance?
Waste allowance helps account for cuts, breakage and pattern matching.
Is this a layout plan?
No. It is a general material estimate and does not design the tile layout.
