How It Calculates the Results

The calculator first converts the room dimensions from meters to centimeters to match the tile dimensions. It then calculates the total area of the room and the area of a single tile. The number of tiles needed is obtained by dividing the room’s area by the tile’s area. Finally, it adds the specified wastage percentage to account for broken tiles or cutting tiles to fit the edges.

Limitations

The calculator assumes that all tiles are laid out in the same direction without considering patterns or design. It also doesn’t account for irregular room shapes or other obstacles that may require additional tiles.
