Find out exactly how many tiles to buy for a floor or wall before you shop. Enter the area you plan to cover in square feet, then the width and height of a single tile in inches, and the calculator converts everything to a matching unit and returns the number of individual tiles required. Add a waste percentage to cover cuts around edges, drains and corners, plus a few spares for future repairs where the same batch may be discontinued. Ten percent is a safe default for simple rectangular rooms, and fifteen is wise for diagonal patterns or rooms with many obstacles. If you know how many tiles come in a box, enter that too and get a clean box count rounded up. Calculations happen instantly in your browser with no data leaving your device.
