How the tile calculator works
The calculator converts the room to inches, adds the grout joint to each tile module, then estimates rows and columns. It rounds tile and box quantities up so the takeoff reflects how flooring is actually purchased.

How much tile waste?
Use about 10 percent for straight lay rooms and 15 percent or more for diagonals, large format tile or rooms with many cuts.
Why box coverage?
Tile is sold by box coverage, not just by individual pieces. Box rounding prevents under-ordering.
