This free tile calculator works out how many tiles a floor, a wall or a backsplash takes, for any tile size.
It adds extra for cuts and spares, and counts the boxes.
I built it because tiles are sold by the box but laid 1 by 1, and the cut tiles at the edges add up.
Here's the formula, a worked example, and the mistakes to avoid.
TL;DRKey takeaways
What is a tile calculator?
A tile calculator turns the size of a floor or wall into the tiles and boxes to buy.
It works for any tile size, in inches or centimeters.
How tiles are counted
A square foot is 144 square inches, so a tile's area in square feet is width × height ÷ 144.
- Square feet each
- 1
- Tiles for 100 sq ft
- 100
- Square feet each
- 2
- Tiles for 100 sq ft
- 50
- Square feet each
- 1
- Tiles for 100 sq ft
- 100
- Square feet each
- 2.25
- Tiles for 100 sq ft
- 45
- Square feet each
- 0.125
- Tiles for 100 sq ft
- 800
The count uses the tile's own size, so the grout lines leave a little spare.
A worked example
Here's the example the calculator loads: an 8 by 6 foot floor, 12 by 12 inch tiles, 10% extra and 15 tiles a box.
8 × 6 = 48 square feet. + 10% = 52.8. Each tile covers 1 square foot, so 53 tiles. 53 ÷ 15 = 3.5, so 4 boxes.
Mistakes to avoid
These are the slips that come up most.
- Mixing the tile's inches with the room's feet
- Buying no spares for repairs later
- Rounding the boxes down instead of up
Who is the tile calculator for?
It's for anyone tiling a bathroom, a kitchen or a floor, and these tools help around it.
- Flooring calculator – for planks or vinyl
- Square footage calculator – for any area
- Paint calculator – for the walls around the tile
Count the tiles first, and the last row won't come up short.
