Accuracy & Assumptions
- Results are estimates only.
- Tile sizes and box quantities can vary by manufacturer and product line.
- Consider ordering an additional 10–15% for cuts, pattern layout and future repairs.
- Verify floor or wall measurements before purchasing materials.
- Check manufacturer lot/batch numbers to avoid shade variation across tiles.
How This Calculator Works
- 1Enter the total floor or wall area you are tiling in square feet.
- 2Enter the tile dimensions in inches.
- 3We calculate tile count per square foot and add a waste factor for cuts.
Helpful Tips
- Diagonal, herringbone and large-format layouts need a higher waste factor (15%+).
- Buy tile from the same production lot to avoid shade variation across the floor.
- Always keep a few spare tiles for future repairs — dye lots are discontinued often.
