Tile Calculator

What is a Tile Calculator?


A tile calculator is a tool used to estimate the number of tiles needed to cover a given surface area. This type of calculator is particularly useful for projects involving floor or wall tiling, such as in bathrooms, kitchens, or outdoor areas. 


The calculator helps determine the quantity of tiles required, ensuring that you purchase the correct amount, which helps to avoid both shortages and excess.

Equations used in this Tile Calculator


Total Tiles Required including Grout Space

Number of Tiles = Tiled Area (Including Grout) (m2) / Area to be Tiled (m2)


Equation to Calculate Tiled Area

Tile Width + Grout Space (mm) x Tile Length (mm) + Grout Space (mm)

How to use the Tile Calculator


Enter Tile Dimensions: Input the length and width of a single tile.


Enter Grout Joint Width: Input the width of the grout joint between the tiles.


Enter Area Dimensions: Input the length and width of the area to be tiled.


Calculate: Click the calculate button to compute the number of tiles needed.


Review Results: The calculator will display the total number of tiles required and the area coverage.

Purpose of a Tile Calculator


  1. Estimate Material Quantity: Calculates the number of tiles needed based on the dimensions of the tiles and the area to be covered.

  2. Cost Estimation: Helps in budgeting by estimating the cost based on the quantity of tiles required.

  3. Project Planning: Assists in planning the logistics of material delivery and storage.

  4. Avoid Wastage: Ensures that the right amount of material is ordered, reducing wastage and minimizing costs.
