Plan tile pieces, patterns and purchases
Start with tile area and purchase units, then handle pricing, confirmed pattern repeats or accessories for a straight grid.
Choose your purchase task
Compare all calculatorsEstimate net tile pieces from project dimensions or a known total area, tile size, and an optional joint gap.
- Use for
- Bathroom floor · Kitchen backsplash · Wall tile
- Inputs
- Measure project by · Total project area (sq ft) · Project length (ft) · Project width (ft) · Tile length (in) · Tile width (in) · Joint gap (in) · Waste / overage (%) · Tiles per box (tiles)
- Results
- Project area (sq ft / m²) · Net tile pieces · Adjusted pieces · Whole pieces needed · Complete boxes and purchased pieces when box size is supplied
Estimate tile material cost from an already selected purchase quantity, a matching price per square foot, piece, or box, and optional tax.
- Use for
- Tile priced per square foot · Tile priced per piece · Tile priced per box
- Inputs
- Price basis · Purchase area (sq ft) · Pieces to purchase (pieces) · Boxes to purchase (boxes) · Price per selected unit (USD) · Tax rate (%)
- Results
- Tile material subtotal (USD) · Estimated tax (USD) · Tile material total including entered tax (USD)
Estimate complete confirmed pattern repeats and keep up to four tile-group quantities in their declared ratio.
- Use for
- Complete repeat with confirmed coverage and composition
- Inputs
- Project area (sq ft) · Coverage per complete module (sq ft) · Group A pieces per module (pieces) · Group B pieces per module (pieces) · Group C pieces per module (pieces) · Group D pieces per module (pieces) · Waste / allowance (%)
- Results
- Adjusted area · Modules before rounding · Complete modules · Group A–D pieces · Total pieces · Nominal module coverage
Count interior crosses or shared-edge clips and peak reusable wedge stock for a declared straight tile grid.
- Use for
- Complete straight rectangular uncut tile grid
- Inputs
- Accessory task · Tile rows (rows) · Tiles per row (columns) · Spacers per bag (pieces) · Clips per shared width edge (pieces) · Clips per shared height edge (pieces) · Clips per bag (pieces) · Peak occupied clip positions (pieces) · Wedges per bag (pieces) · Waste / allowance (%)
- Results
- Interior crosses and spacer bags in spacer mode · Shared-edge counts, clips and clip bags in leveling mode · Peak wedge stock and wedge bags in leveling mode
What belongs in this category
Tile quantity estimates turn a measured area into tile equivalents, whole pieces and complete boxes. Material cost uses the quantity you already intend to buy, so an allowance or package surplus is not added again.
Pattern allocation needs a confirmed repeat and piece ratio. Spacer and leveling counts need a complete straight grid and your placement inputs. Neither tool designs the layout or predicts usable cuts.
