How the tile calculator works
Add waste to the area, then divide by the size of each tile and round up to whole tiles.
Method and assumptions
Figur converts the measurements you enter into area, volume, or material quantity using standard geometry formulas.
- Surfaces and depths are uniform unless you divide the project into separate sections.
- Waste allowance, manufacturer coverage, and package sizes should be checked before purchasing.
- Site conditions and installation requirements can change the final quantity.
Sources and references
No external data source is required: this calculator uses standard geometry formulas and the measurements you enter.
Worked example
