Tile & Flooring Calculator
How many boxes of vitrified, ceramic or wall tiles to order — skirting and wastage included — and the same for laminate, SPC, vinyl and engineered wood flooring.
How to use
How to use the tile & flooring calculator
- Choose floor, wall or wood/vinyl. Each mode asks only for what it needs.
- Enter the room size in feet. For walls, add up the length of every wall being tiled and the tiling height (7 ft is typical in bathrooms).
- Pick your tile size. Tiles per box fills in with the usual pack for that size — check the carton or the dealer’s price list and correct it if needed.
- Set wastage: 5–8% for straight laying, 10–15% for diagonal or herringbone patterns and rooms with many corners.
- Read boxes, pieces and cost — material only, and a turnkey laid estimate. Skirting is cut from the same tiles, so it is included automatically.
The maths
How it’s calculated
Area = L × W (+ extra) [walls: run × height − openings]
Tile area = length mm × width mm ÷ 92,903 (sq ft)
Tiles = ⌈ area ÷ tile area × (1 + wastage) ⌉
Skirting = ⌈ perimeter ÷ tile length ⌉ strips, ⌊ tile width ÷ skirting height ⌋ strips per tile
Boxes = ⌈ (tiles + skirting tiles) ÷ tiles per box ⌉
For wood, laminate and vinyl: boxes = ⌈ area × (1 + wastage) ÷ coverage per box ⌉, and skirting is the room perimeter minus door openings, in running feet.
Material only = area bought (boxes × box coverage) × material rate. Turnkey = room area × our laid rate per sq ft, which already includes labour, bedding or adhesive and wastage (excl. GST).
Worked example
A 12 × 10 ft bedroom in 600 × 600 mm vitrified tiles
- Floor area: 12 × 10 = 120 sq ft. One 600 × 600 tile = 360,000 ÷ 92,903 = 3.875 sq ft.
- Tiles: 120 ÷ 3.875 = 30.97, + 8% wastage → 34 tiles.
- Skirting: perimeter 2 × (12 + 10) − 3 ft door = 41 ft (12,497 mm) ÷ 600 mm = 21 strips. Each tile gives 6 strips of 100 mm, so 4 tiles with wastage.
- Total 38 tiles ÷ 4 per box = 10 boxes (40 tiles, 155 sq ft).
