Tile Calculator

Enter the area, tile size and a waste allowance to see how many tiles you need.

Order the right number of tiles for a wall or floor. Enter the area to cover, your tile size and a waste allowance for cuts and the odd breakage — 10 percent is typical, more for diagonal patterns or lots of edges. The calculator rounds up to whole tiles. Buy a few extra from the same batch so future repairs match.

Frequently asked questions

How much waste should I allow?

Around 10 percent for a straightforward layout, and 15 to 20 percent for diagonal patterns, small rooms with many cuts, or large-format tiles.

Should I buy spare tiles?

Yes — keep a few from the same batch. Colours and sizes can vary slightly between production runs, so later replacements may not match exactly.
