Tile Calculator

Tile Calculators will give you an approximate number of tiles recommended for your project.

The calculations assume 218 tiles per square foot. This number may vary depending on your design, style and taste.

Note: if you nip your tile into smaller pieces, you will actually use LESS tile than the recommended amount. This is due to the fact that when you use smaller pieces, you will use more grout to fill in the extra space around your tiles.

Please enter all dimensions in inches. Hit the ENTER key to calculate the number of tiles.

A 1 pound bag of 3/4" tiles contains approximately 144 tiles.

A 1 pound bag of 3/8" tiles contains approximately 600 tiles.
