Tile Calculator
Calculate how many tiles you need for your floor or wall project with our comprehensive calculator. Determine materials, costs, and labor estimates based on your project specifications.
Step 1: Room Measurements
Understanding Waste Factor
A waste factor accounts for cuts, breakage, and pattern matching. Typically 10-15% for simple layouts, but may be higher for complex patterns, diagonal layouts, or large-format tiles.
Step 2: Tile & Cost
About Installation Costs
Labor costs vary by tile type, pattern complexity, and substrate preparation. Simple square layouts cost less than diagonal patterns, herringbone, or intricate mosaic designs.

Cost Breakdown
Tile Calculation Formula
Total Cost = ((Total Area – Obstacles Area) × (1 + Waste Factor) × Tile Price) + (Net Area × Installation Cost)
To calculate total project cost: Subtract fixtures/obstacles from total area, add waste factor, multiply by tile cost per sq ft, then add installation cost based on net area.
