How it works

Grout joints are ignored, which slightly overestimates tile. Thinset and grout are extra.

The formula

  • Tiles = ⌈area × (1 + extra %) ÷ (tile size² ÷ 144)⌉
  • Cost = tiles × area per tile × price per sq ft

How to use this calculator

  1. Measure the area.
  2. Enter tile size.
  3. Enter your price.
