Calculation of the number of tiles for floors and walls
Calculation of the number of tiles for floors and walls
An online tile calculator will help you calculate the required amount of tiles for laying floors or walls. The dimensions of the room, the dimensions of the tiles, the width of the seam between the tiles and the margin for trimming and possible defects are taken into account.
The tile calculator uses precise formulas to calculate the amount of material based on surface type, installation method and working conditions. Suitable for calculating various types of tiles: ceramic, porcelain stoneware, mosaic, vinyl. Calculation formula: Total number of tiles = (Room area / Area of one tile) × (1 + Stock / 100).
Let's look at practical examples of calculating the number of tiles for various rooms and types of tiles:

Calculating the number of tiles includes several stages to obtain an accurate result, taking into account all the parameters of the room and the type of tile.
Popular sizes and types of tiles for different rooms:
30×30, 45×45 cm
60×60, 80×80 cm
5×5, 10×10 cm
20×30, 30×60 cm
Using a tile calculator provides many advantages when planning renovations: accurate calculation of the amount of material, saving money, planning purchases, minimizing waste.
The calculator uses proven formulas taking into account all the parameters of the room and the type of tile to obtain an accurate result.
Correct calculation allows you to avoid overuse of material and unnecessary costs for purchasing unnecessary tiles.
Knowing in advance the required quantity of tiles, you can plan the budget and purchase of materials for repairs.
The calculation allows you to choose the right type of tile and its quantity for a specific room.
To get an accurate result, follow our recommendations when calculating tiles.
To calculate tiles, measure the length and width of the room, select the size of the tiles and indicate the number of tiles in the package. The calculator will automatically calculate the required number of packages, taking into account the trimming margin.
For a standard 3x2 meter bathroom with 30x30 cm tiles, you need approximately 7-8 packages (10 tiles per package), taking into account a 10% margin. The exact quantity depends on the size of the room and the tiles.
To calculate tiles for walls, measure the height and width of each wall, subtract the area of windows and doors. Then calculate the number of tiles using the same formula as for the floor.
A margin of 10-15% for regular tiles and 15-20% for tiles with a pattern or complex shape is recommended. The reserve takes into account trimming, defects and possible errors during installation.
For the kitchen, measure the area of the floor and backsplash separately. For the floor, use wear-resistant porcelain tiles, for the apron - decorative tiles or mosaics. Calculate each area separately.
Porcelain tiles are more durable and wear-resistant than ceramic tiles. It has lower water absorption and is suitable for high traffic areas. Ceramic tiles are suitable for walls and rooms with low traffic.
Measure the total area of the bathroom, then subtract the area of the niches and ledges. Add a 15% margin for complex shapes and angles. Calculate the number of tiles using the standard formula.
The number of tiles in a package depends on the size of the tile. For example, 30x30 cm tiles are usually packed in 10-15 pieces, 60x60 cm tiles - 2-4 pieces. The exact information is indicated on the packaging.
When laying diagonally, consumption increases by 15-20% compared to straight laying. Increase your supply of material and use the calculator to account for the additional cost.
For heated floors, it is recommended to use porcelain stoneware with a thickness of at least 8 mm. The calculation of the number of tiles is the same as for a regular floor, but take into account the thickness of the tiles for proper installation.
The width of the joint depends on the size of the tile: for tiles up to 30 cm - 2-3 mm, for tiles 30-60 cm - 3-5 mm, for large-format tiles - 5-10 mm. The width of the seam affects the grout consumption.
Mosaic tiles are packaged in sheets or rolls. Measure the surface area, calculate the number of sheets, taking into account a margin of 15-20%. Mosaic requires more stock due to the complexity of installation.
The cost of tiles depends on the type, size and manufacturer. Ceramic tiles cost from 300 to 2000 rubles/m², porcelain tiles - from 500 to 5000 rubles/m². Calculate the area and multiply by the price per m².
For a hallway, measure the length and width. Consider complex shapes and angles. Add a 15% margin for trimming. It is recommended to use wear-resistant tiles for high traffic.
Rectified tiles have machined edges for minimal joints (1-2mm). It creates the effect of a seamless surface. It requires a smaller supply of material, but requires precise installation.
For a balcony, measure the area of the floor and walls (if necessary). Use frost-resistant tiles for exterior use. Add a 15% margin for complex shapes and angles.
Yes, when calculating tiles for walls, be sure to subtract the area of windows and doors from the total area of the walls. This will reduce material consumption and cost.
For stairs, calculate the area of each step and riser separately. Consider the need for pruning. Add a margin of 20% for complex steps.
For the kitchen, porcelain tiles with low water absorption and high wear resistance are recommended. The size of the tile depends on the size of the kitchen: for a small one - 30x30 cm, for a large one - 60x60 cm.
For the living room, measure the floor area. Choose large format tiles 60x60 or 80x80 cm to visually expand the space. Add a 10% margin for normal styling.
Parquet tiles imitate wood flooring, but have all the advantages of ceramic tiles. It is laid like regular tiles, the quantity calculation is the same.
For a bathroom with a bathtub, calculate the area of the floor and walls separately. For the walls around the bathroom, use moisture-resistant tiles. Subtract the bathroom area from the floor area.
The number of tiles per 1 m² depends on the size of the tile. For example, tiles 30x30 cm - 11.1 pcs/m², tiles 60x60 cm - 2.78 pcs/m². Use the formula: 1 m² / tile area.
For a shower stall, measure the area of the floor and all walls inside the stall. Use moisture-resistant tiles or mosaics. Add a 15% margin for complex shapes and angles.
Yes, be sure to buy tiles with a 10-15% margin for trimming, defects and possible errors. The stock will help avoid a situation where several tiles are missing.
For the hallway, measure the floor area. Consider complex shapes and angles. It is recommended to use wear-resistant tiles for high traffic. Add a margin of 15%.
Subway tile is a rectangular tile of 10x20 cm or 7.5x15 cm format. It is popular for kitchens and bathrooms. The calculation of the quantity is the same as for regular tiles.
For bedrooms, tiles are usually used sparingly, but if necessary, measure the floor area. Choose decorative tiles or parquet tiles. Add a 10% margin for normal styling.
For the bathroom, moisture-resistant ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles with low water absorption are recommended. The size of the tile depends on the size of the bathroom: for a small one - 20x30 cm, for a large one - 30x60 cm.
For the toilet, measure the area of the floor and walls. Use moisture-resistant tiles. Subtract the area of the door. Add a 10% margin for normal styling.
