Use this tile calculator to work out how many tiles you need for walls or floors, plus boxes, adhesive, grout and a realistic fitted cost range. It is a practical way to set a budget before ordering tiles or asking for quotes.
Enter your dimensions and tile size below. Use floor mode for rooms and floor areas, or wall mode if you want to include wall height and subtract openings like windows, doors or other untiled sections.
Use this as a practical starting point for budgeting and ordering. Once the exact tile and surface condition are known, you can narrow the figure further.
This includes tile materials, adhesive, grout, trims, labour and a sensible allowance for standard site conditions.
Standard tiling with average access and a common straight lay pattern.
Large format tiles, awkward cuts, difficult access, heavy prep work, premium patterns and old tile removal can all increase the final fitted cost.
As an early planning guide, fitted tiling prices often sit within these broad ranges:
Use floor mode for rooms and floor areas. Use wall mode if you want to include wall height and deduct untiled openings such as doors, windows or other areas you do not want to tile.
It is ideal as a first planning tool before visiting suppliers, comparing tile sizes or working out how many full boxes to order.
Yes. You can switch between floor mode and wall mode. Wall mode allows you to enter wall height and subtract openings so the result is more realistic.
A waste allowance of around 10% is often sensible for straight lay patterns. Diagonal or herringbone layouts usually need a higher allowance because there is more cutting and more offcut waste.
Because edges, corners, sockets, windows and awkward cuts all create waste. Ordering only the exact area often leaves people short before the job is finished.
Yes. The calculator includes simple bag estimates for adhesive and grout using the coverage figures you enter, which makes it more useful for budgeting and ordering.
No. This is a planning tool. Real fitted prices still depend on tile choice, substrate condition, access, preparation, trim details, waterproofing requirements and the number of cuts on site.
