Tile calculator: how many tiles and boxes do you need?
Works for floors and walls. Pick a standard Indian tile size or enter your own, add wastage, and see tiles and boxes to order.
Estimates only, for planning. Measurements and quantities for your home are confirmed on site.
How the calculation works
We multiply length by width for the area, add your wastage percentage, and divide by the area of one tile, rounding up to whole tiles. If you enter tiles per box, we round up to whole boxes.
Use about 10% wastage for straight laying and 15% for diagonal or herringbone patterns, or rooms with many corners.
Before you order
Tiles per box varies by brand and thickness, so confirm it with your dealer. Order all tiles from the same batch, and keep a few spare for future repairs.
How many 2 x 2 ft tiles for a 10 x 12 ft room?
The room is 120 sq ft and each tile is about 3.9 sq ft, so about 34 tiles including 10% wastage.
How much wastage should I add?
About 10% for a simple straight layout, 12 to 15% for diagonal layouts, large format tiles or rooms with many cuts.
