Floor Tile Calculator
Tiles, boxes and wastage for a floor or wall — any tile size.
Cuts at two walls always — never order exact. Keep 2–3 spare tiles from the SAME batch number; dye lots differ visibly and discontinue fast.
Formula
Floor Tile Calculator is a free tile calculator for civil engineers, contractors and quantity surveyors — instant, accurate and 100% client-side, with the governing formula and reference shown next to the result so the number can be defended, not just quoted.
About Floor Tile Calculator
Tiles, boxes and wastage for a floor or wall — any tile size. The calculation implements n = ⌈area/tile area × (1+waste)⌉ (Tiling trade practice). Cuts at two walls always — never order exact. Keep 2–3 spare tiles from the SAME batch number; dye lots differ visibly and discontinue fast.

Frequently asked questions
What formula does the Floor Tile Calculator use?+
It computes n = ⌈area/tile area × (1+waste)⌉, per Tiling trade practice. The formula is displayed under the result.
What should I keep in mind when using this calculator?+
Cuts at two walls always — never order exact. Keep 2–3 spare tiles from the SAME batch number; dye lots differ visibly and discontinue fast.
Does it include wastage?+
Yes — standard wastage/bulking factors are built in and stated in the formula line, so the quantity is an orderable number, not a bare geometric volume.
Is the Floor Tile Calculator free to use?+
Yes — completely free, no sign-up, no limits. It runs client-side in your browser, so inputs stay private and results are instant even on slow connections.
