This tool helps you easily calculate the square footage of any tile installation project.
How to Use the Square Foot Calculator for Tiles
Enter the length and width of the area you want to tile in feet. Then, input the dimensions of a single tile in inches. Click on the “Calculate” button to find out the number of tiles required to cover the area.
Explanation of Calculation
The calculator first converts the length and width of the area from feet to inches because tile sizes are generally measured in inches. It multiplies the length and width to get the total area in square inches. It then calculates the area of a single tile also in square inches. Finally, it divides the total area by the area of a single tile to find the number of tiles required. The result is rounded up to ensure you have enough tiles.
Limitations
This calculator does not account for irregularly shaped areas or spaces where tiles cannot be used whole (e.g., for gaps, patterns). Always purchase extra tiles to accommodate for cutting and potential mistakes.
Use Cases for This Calculator
