How this tile calculator works

Room area (length times width) is divided by a single tile's area, then a waste allowance is added, 10% for a straight layout, 15-20% for a diagonal, herringbone, or other pattern that produces more offcuts. If you enter tiles per box, the result also shows how many full boxes to buy.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Is this tile calculator free?

Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up and no usage limits.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Every number is computed locally in your browser tab.

Why does a diagonal layout need more waste allowance?

A diagonal, herringbone, or other angled pattern produces more small offcuts at the edges of the room that can't be reused, so it typically needs 15-20% extra tile compared to 10% for a straight grid layout.
