Tile Calculators
Professional-grade estimation tools for any tile project. Every calculator shows the exact formula used and includes industry-standard waste factors.
Core Estimation
Tile Calculator
Enter your area and tile dimensions to find out exactly how many tiles you need, including waste. Results include box quantities and the exact formula used.
How Many Boxes of Tile Calculator
Find out how many boxes of tile to purchase. Enter your area and either the tiles per box or the square footage per box — the calculator handles both methods.
Grout Calculator
Calculate how much grout you need by weight and bag count. Uses the TCNA (Tile Council of North America) industry-standard formula for sanded, unsanded, and epoxy grout.
Thinset Mortar Calculator
Calculate the number of 50-lb bags of thinset mortar needed for your tile project. Coverage depends on your trowel notch size — larger notches use more mortar per square foot.
Layout Patterns
Herringbone Tile Calculator
Calculate how many tiles you need for a herringbone layout. Herringbone patterns require 15% waste (minimum) due to the angled cuts at every border.
Diagonal / Diamond Tile Calculator
Calculate tile quantities for a diagonal (45°) or diamond layout. Diagonal patterns require at least 15% waste due to cuts at every wall edge.
Brick / Running Bond Tile Calculator
Calculate tile quantities for a running bond (brick) layout. The offset pattern uses 10% waste — the same as a straight grid, since cuts are minimal.
Basketweave Tile Calculator
Calculate tiles for a basketweave pattern. This alternating horizontal/vertical pattern uses 15% waste due to precise cuts at borders.
Room & Project Types
Bathroom Tile Calculator
Calculate total tile needed for a bathroom project. Add up your floor area and wall area, then subtract elements like doors or tubs to get your final estimate.
Shower Tile Calculator
Calculate total tile needed for a shower or tub surround. Enter the dimensions of the three walls and the floor (pan) to get an accurate estimate.
Kitchen Backsplash Calculator
Calculate tile needed for a kitchen backsplash. Enter the total length of your counters and the height to your upper cabinets to find your square footage.
Pool Tile Calculator
Calculate tile needed for a swimming pool. This calculator handles both standard waterline tile bands and fully tiled pool interiors.
