Layout Warning
A 10% waste factor is typical for standard grids. If using a Herringbone or Diagonal pattern, increase waste to 15-20% to account for extra cuts.
Box Estimates
Box counts are estimated at 12 tiles per pack. Check your manufacturer's specific packaging as some luxury tiles come in 8 or 10-count boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many tiles are in a standard box?
Standard tile boxes typically contain between 8 and 14 tiles depending on the size (e.g., 12x12 or 24x24). Our tool defaults to 12 tiles per box, but always check your specific manufacturer packaging.
Why is a 10% waste factor recommended?
Waste factors account for broken tiles, mis-cuts, and the extra material needed to fit the perimeter of the room. For complex diagonal or herringbone patterns, we recommend increasing this to 15% or 20%.
How do I calculate tile area in sq ft?
Multiply the length (ft) by the width (ft) of the room to get the total area. Then divide that by the area of a single tile (in sq ft) to get the raw tile count. Our tool handles this unit conversion automatically.
Should I buy extra tiles for future repairs?
Yes. It's common practice to keep 5-10 extra tiles in storage from the same dye lot, as colors can vary slightly between different manufacturing runs.
