FREE DIY ESTIMATOR
Tile Calculator
Estimate tile count and coverage for a floor or wall while allowing extra material for cuts and waste.
How to estimate tile
Measure the surface length and width, enter the tile dimensions, and choose a waste percentage. The calculator determines the surface area, approximate number of tiles, and an optional material cost.
Why waste matters
- Tiles are cut at walls, corners, and fixtures.
- Some pieces may break during installation.
- Patterns and diagonal layouts can increase offcuts.
- Keeping spare matching tile can help with future repairs.
What else to plan for
Thinset or adhesive, grout, spacers, leveling clips, backer board or membrane, trim pieces, and substrate preparation are separate from the primary tile count.
