Calculate tiles, grout, and materials for tiling projects
Our tile calculator helps you determine the number of tiles, thinset mortar, and grout needed for your tiling project. Whether you're tiling a bathroom floor, kitchen backsplash, or shower walls, this tool calculates materials based on your area and tile size with appropriate waste factors.
The calculator includes a 10% waste factor for cuts, breakage, and future repairs. Complex layouts with many cuts around fixtures or diagonal patterns may require 15-20% extra. Always keep some extra tiles for future repairs since tile colors can vary between production batches.
This tool is perfect for DIY homeowners planning tile projects, contractors preparing estimates, and anyone asking "how many tiles do I need for my bathroom?" The calculator also estimates thinset bags to help you budget the complete project.
