Tile calculator FAQ

How do I calculate how many tiles I need?

Divide your floor area in square feet by the area of one tile in square feet, then add your waste allowance. A 100 sq ft floor with 12×12 inch tiles needs about 100 tiles before waste.

How many extra tiles should I buy for cuts and waste?

10% is the typical rule of thumb for straight layouts. Diagonal layouts or rooms with lots of corners may need 15% or more.

How many tiles come in a box?

It varies by tile size and manufacturer — this tile calculator assumes 10 tiles per box. Check your box before ordering.

Does grout spacing change the count?

Slightly. Wider grout lines use up a little more room, but the waste allowance you enter already covers typical grout spacing.

Can I use this tile calculator for bathroom floor walls too?

Yes — enter the wall area as length × height in feet and the same math applies.
