Tile Calculator

Enter the area, your tile size, box coverage, and layout pattern. Get boxes needed with the right waste factor applied automatically.

1 Area to Tile

2 Tile & Box

Presets:

Printed on every tile box. Set to the product you're ordering.

3 Layout & Complexity

TCNA-informed waste factors. Diagonal and interlocking patterns need more cuts, so more waste.

Optional spare boxes for future repairs. Many pros keep 5 to 10%.

Order all boxes from the same lot / shade. Tile from different lots can vary in color and size.

These estimates use the same waste-factor model as the SiteScope app. Actual quantities depend on tile size, layout, substrate, and installer technique. Always verify with your supplier before ordering.

Assign tile to any surface from a 3D scan.

In SiteScope, scan a room and assign tile to floors or walls. The takeoff applies the right waste factor for your layout pattern and wall complexity, then totals boxes, cost, charge, and margin across the whole project.
