How it works

Tiles = area ÷ tile area, plus waste for cuts. Use 10% for straight layouts and 15% for diagonal or herringbone.

FAQ

How much extra tile should I buy?

10% for straight lays, 15% for diagonal patterns.

Does grout width matter?

Slightly; this calculator ignores grout, which builds in a small safety margin.
