How to use the Tile Calculator

Find how many tiles and boxes you need for a floor or wall, with waste.

  1. 1 Enter the room length and width.
  2. 2 Enter the tile size, grout gap and tiles per box.
  3. 3 Add waste and read the tiles and boxes needed.

Example and practical tips

A 12 × 10 ft kitchen with 12 × 24 in tiles needs about 67 tiles, or 9 boxes of 8, including 10% waste.

Frequently asked questions

How much extra tile should I buy?

10% for straight layouts and 15% for diagonal or herringbone, plus a box to keep for repairs.

Does grout width matter?

Slightly. Wider joints mean fewer tiles, and the calculator includes the gap.
