  • Adjustable waste allowance for cuts and breakage

  • 100% offline — no internet, no account, no data collected

How it works

The number of tiles is the area to tile divided by the area of one tile, increased by the waste percentage (10% by default) and rounded up. Boxes are the tiles divided by the tiles per box, rounded up.

Honest limits

  • Complex layouts (diagonal, herringbone, many cuts) need a larger waste allowance; adjust the percentage.

Questions

How many tiles do I need?
