Tile Calculator

Estimate tiles and boxes for a rectangular surface using a conservative straight-grid layout.

How It Works

Rows and columns are each rounded up, then multiplied. Extra tiles=ceiling(grid count×waste allowance). Boxes round up to full boxes.

Assumes butt-jointed nominal tile sizes, no grout-width correction or reuse of cut pieces. Diagonal layouts and patterns require a separate cutting plan.
