Tiles = Total Area ÷ Tile Area × Waste factor
Enter your own measurements in the calculator. The result updates instantly and shows the formula used.
Fill in the measurements, include any waste allowance where available, then review the estimate. Construction results should be checked against local material sizes and site conditions.
