What is a Tile Calculator?

Calculates number of tiles needed for room flooring. Considers room dimensions, tile size, and wastage allowance for cuts, breakage, and pattern matching. Essential for: home renovation, hiring contractor (verify their estimate), buying tiles in correct quantity (extras for future repairs).

How to use

1. Enter room dimensions — Length and width in feet
2. Enter tile size — Inches (e.g., 24×24)
3. Set wastage — 10% standard, 15% for complex layouts
4. View tile count — + total cost based on price per tile

Tips

• Always order 10-15% extra for cuts and future repairs
• Pattern tiles (herringbone, diagonal) need 15-20% wastage
• Keep 1 box extra for future repairs — tile designs discontinue
• Match dye lots (same batch) for color consistency
