What this tool does not do / Limits

This calculator assumes a rectangular room and identical rectangular tiles. It does not account for irregular shapes, patterns, cuts around fixtures, or broken tiles beyond the waste allowance you enter.

Frequently asked questions

Should I order exactly this many tiles?

Treat it as an estimate. Many tilers order a few extra tiles beyond the calculated waste for future repairs.

Does it handle non-rectangular rooms?

No. For irregular rooms, split the floor into rectangles and calculate each part separately.
