Floor Tile Calculator

Measure the length and width of the floor area you plan to tile. Enter those values into the floor tile calculator along with your tile size and desired waste percentage. The calculator will instantly estimate how many tiles you need, including extra tiles to cover cuts and breakage.

A common rule of thumb is to add 10% extra tiles for standard rooms and 15% for areas with many cuts or angles. Our calculator includes this option so you can adjust the waste buffer based on your specific project.

If you're using narrow joints or delicate tile materials, unsanded grout may be appropriate but always follow the tile manufacturer's recommendation.
