MEASURE ONCE. PLAN YOUR PURCHASE.

Tile Layout and Packs calculator.

Count a straight tile grid for each room using actual tile dimensions and specified joints.

Measurement schematic, not to scale. Use your own dimensions and product specification.

Use measurements from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any prefilled values are illustrative.

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

Where to get this value

Copy this specification from your supplied design or product documentation. This tool does not select spacing, fixing patterns or structural requirements.

Where to get this value

Use the actual usable quantity or dimensions of the product you intend to buy. Check the label and the unit shown here.

Shortcuts only; choose your own allowance above.

BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Every grid position needs a tile; rows and columns round up before the purchase allowance. Rooms share the same selected tile and pack. Cut-off reuse is not optimised.

Tiles = Σ(ceil((L + joint)/(tile L + joint)) × ceil((W + joint)/(tile W + joint)))Calculated with normalised units

Tile packs to purchase: 4 packs

A narrow extra strip may require a whole row of tiles

Tile layout depends on section dimensions, tile dimensions, joint width and orientation. Pack rounding follows the estimated tile count; total area alone can conceal edge rows.

  • Measure separate tiled sections and use the actual tile dimensions.
  • Orientation and joint width are supplied choices; this tool does not prescribe an installation.
  • Check layout and usable cuts independently; joint estimates do not guarantee that an offcut can be reused.

What changes when one measurement changes?

Using the worked example above, change only width from 3 to 4.1m. Product specifications and all other inputs stay the same.

Tile packs to purchase: 4 → 5packs

Both results are computed by the same current calculator engine. These are illustrative dimensions, not material or design recommendations.

Calculation version and responsibility

Formula version: 1. Input schema: 1. Output schema: 1. Material data: user-supplied. Safety text: 1.

The method uses your dimensions and supplied product properties. Software tests check arithmetic examples and validation; this does not establish professional review of a design. Read the calculation policy.

Before you purchase

Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.

Method: dimensional arithmetic and user-supplied specifications. Software checks: 2026-10-04. Calculation and review policy.
