How do I calculate the number of tiles needed?

Divide the area to be tiled by the area of one tile, then add 5 to 10 percent for cutting and breakage. For example, a 100 square-foot floor with 2×2 ft tiles needs about 25 tiles plus wastage.

How much wastage should I add for tiles?

Add about 5 percent for simple rectangular rooms, and 10 percent or more for rooms with many cuts, diagonal layouts or patterns.

How many tiles are in a box?

It varies by size — commonly 4 tiles per box for 2×2 ft (600×600 mm) tiles. Check the box; you can enter the exact number in the calculator.

How it's calculated

The number of tiles is the area to be tiled divided by the area of a single tile, rounded up and increased by your wastage allowance for cuts and breakage. Boxes are the tiles divided by tiles-per-box, rounded up.

Tiles = ⌈(area ÷ tile area) × (1 + wastage)⌉. Always buy a few extra from the same batch for future repairs.
