Calculateur de Tile
Estimate tile count from area and tile size.
Formula and method
This calculator computes Tiles needed directly in your browser without sending data to an external server.
Mathematical formula
- Tiles needed:
area ÷ (tileWidth × tileHeight ÷ 144) × (1+waste ÷ 100)
Variables and parameters
- Area (area): default value 120 ft².
- Tile width (tileWidth): default value 12 in.
- Tile height (tileHeight): default value 12 in.
- Waste (waste): default value 10 %.
Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations (such as division by zero or logarithms of non-positive numbers). In those cases the live tool displays an alert instead of NaN.
