Before you order

Why does the purchase cost use full boxes?

An area estimate can require a partial tile or box. Suppliers often sell whole boxes, so the budget multiplies the rounded-up box count by your quoted box price, then adds your entered charges.

Can two box prices be compared directly?

Only if they contain the same tile and finish. A cheaper box may contain fewer tiles. Compare the full quantity and total cost for this project, including charges, rather than the sticker price alone.

Area figures show up to 6 decimal places. Whole tile and box counts use exact decimal fractions before rounding up.

Assumptions and method

For each rectangle, subtract the entered untiled area, then add all net areas. Divide the total area plus waste by one tile’s face area and round up to whole tiles. Divide by tiles per box and round up again.

This is an area-based purchase estimate. It pools tiles across rooms and does not plan rows, grout joints, patterns, cuts or reusable offcuts. Grout joints are ignored, which can increase the area-based tile count. Diagonal layouts, narrow strips and fragile tiles may need more waste. Check a layout and your supplier’s stated box coverage before ordering.
