Tile Calculator | See Ho Much Tile You Need

The following tool estimates the total number of tiles necessary to cover a floor, roof, wall, or any other surface. It also considers the gap or overlap between tiles for better accuracy, as shown in the figure below.

Calculate your space area

Calculating the area of your space for tiling involves measuring the space and performing some simple multiplication.

For a rectangular or square space, use the formula:

$Area=Length\times Width$

Calculate the Number of Tiles Needed:

First, Determine the size of the tile you plan to use (e.g., 30 cm x 30 cm) and calculate the area of one tile:

$\text{Tile Area}=\text{Tile Length}\times \text{Tile Width}$

Divide the total area of the space by the area of one tile

$\text{Total Tiles Needed}=\frac{\text{Total Space Area}}{\text{Tile Area}}$
 

Example Calculation for rectangular space

Measure the Space:

• Length = 10 feet
• Width   = 10 feet

Calculate the Area:

Area = 10 feet × 10 feet = 100 squre feet

Calculate the tile area:

• Length = 9 inch
• Width   = 9 inch

Per Tile Area = 9 inch  × 9 inch = 81  squre inch

Per  Area = 0.5625 sq ft (rounded to four decimal places).

Calculate the Number of Tiles Needed:

Number of Tiles= 100 squre feet / 0.5625 sq ft ≈ 177.77 

You will need 178 tiles to cover the entire space.

Purchase 5% extra, you should buy 187 for cutting, waste, and possible future repairs.
