Room dimensions in, tile count and boxes out — with material and installation labor priced per square foot. Then send it straight into a quote.
Ballpark, not gospel. This estimates tiles, boxes, and costs from the numbers you punch in — always check against your supplier's specs and your own measurements before ordering or quoting.
Straight answers, no fluff. Then run your own numbers above.
A 10×10 room is 100 square feet. With 12×12 tiles (1 square foot each), that's 100 tiles plus 10% waste for cuts — 110 tiles total. Check your box label for square feet per box and round up to full boxes; a typical 12×12 box covers about 10 square feet, so you'd order 11 boxes.
Order 10% extra for a straight lay and 15–20% for a diagonal layout or a room with lots of corners — diagonal cuts waste more. Always keep a few spare tiles from the same batch; later batches can differ slightly in shade, which makes repairs obvious.
It varies by size and manufacturer — the number that matters is the square footage per box, printed on the box label. Divide your total square feet (with waste) by that number and round up. As a rough guide, 12×12 tiles often come about 10 square feet to a box.
In the US, tile installation labor typically runs $5–$15 per square foot depending on tile size, layout complexity, and region — large-format and diagonal layouts cost more. Materials add roughly $2–$15 per square foot. Run your room through the calculator above for a job-specific number.
