Documentation

How It Works

The calculator determines the exact area and divides it by the area of a single tile, then adds a safety margin.

Room Area = L × W

Tile Area = Tile L × Tile W

Exact Tiles = Room Area / Tile Area

Total Order = Exact Tiles × (1 + Waste%)

Pro Tips

Always buy 10-15% extra for cuts, breaks, and future repairs.
For diagonal layouts (diamond pattern), calculate with 20% wastage.
Grout spacing is not subtracted from tile count to ensure you have enough material.
