Tile Calculator
Work out how many tiles (and boxes) you need for a floor or wall before you buy. Enter the area, tile size and a wastage margin — the calculator gives the tile count, boxes to order and leftover-safe totals.
How to use
- Enter the floor or wall area as length x width.
- Enter the tile size in inches.
- Enter wastage — 10% for a straight layout, 15% for diagonal.
- It will show the number of tiles and boxes.
Note: Count skirting and border tiles separately. Always keep one extra box — matching the same batch later is hard. Rates change — verify with the official source before relying on this.
Tips
- Order 10% extra for straight layouts and 15% for diagonal patterns to cover cuts.
- Keep one full box spare — the same shade and batch is hard to match later.
- Count skirting and border tiles separately from the floor tiles.
