How this is calculated
Formula
- Area to cover = length × width − area left out
- Area incl. extra = area × (1 + extra %)
- Tiles = area incl. extra ÷ (tile length × tile width), rounded up · boxes = tiles ÷ tiles per box, rounded up
- Packs = area incl. extra ÷ coverage per pack, rounded up · cost = area bought × price
Assumptions
- Grout joints are ignored: they make the count slightly lower, which acts as a small safety margin.
- Typical extra is about 5–10% for straight laying in a simple room; diagonal, herringbone or rooms with many corners need more. Follow the manufacturer's advice.
- Buy all tiles from the same batch and keep a few spare for future repairs.
- Tiles per box, pack coverage and price are examples — use the figures from the product you choose.
