Tiling quantity & budget

MEASURE FIRST

How to prepare your inputs

Measure each surface, choose the exact product and read its pack coverage or consumption rate. Confirm cuts, joints, depth and thickness.

How this calculation works

Required coverage = area × (1 + waste / 100). Packs round up. Budget = packs × pack price + net area × installation rate + extras.

Assumptions & exclusions

Use your supplier’s pack coverage. Installation is charged on net area. Extras can include preparation, adhesives, trims and disposal.

Your next step

Check substrate preparation, adhesive compatibility, expansion joints, curing and supplier quantities with your tiler.

What if my shape or product is different?

Use dimensions and product data that match the stated method. For complex work, calculate separate sections or obtain a project-specific take-off. Do not apply simple geometry to structural or compliance decisions.

Why are quantities rounded up?

Whole bags, packs, sheets or cartridges round up to purchasable units. Decimal area or volume results are planning figures; confirm order increments with the supplier.
