Tile quantity and pack estimate

Estimate full tiles, order area and packs from the net surface, tile dimensions and a stated cutting allowance.

Measure each surface receiving the same tile and layout.
Subtract only areas that receive no tile; small penetrations still create cuts.
Use the nominal face dimension of one tile.
Use the nominal face dimension of one tile.
Choose from the actual layout complexity, not one universal percentage.
Use the supplier label for the exact tile and batch.
Net tiled area

28.00 m²

Area including allowance

30.80 m²

Estimated whole tiles

172 tiles

Estimated whole packs

22 packs

Coverage in whole packs

31.68 m²

A simple area-based estimate using nominal tile face dimensions and one declared pack coverage. Joint width, layout direction, pattern repeats, borders, niches, trims, shade or calibre batches, spare stock and supplier pack rules require a layout and separate decisions.

FROM ESTIMATE TO ACTION

Use the result, not just the number.

01

Verify the inputs

Measure or document each input. If a value is only an estimate, record its source and test a conservative alternative.

02

Keep the calculation traceable

Save the input link or copied result together with the date, units and assumptions. A number without its inputs cannot be checked later.

03

Confirm the decision

Compare the estimate with the related guide, current product data and requirements that apply at your location before buying or building.

Inputs to verify

Measured tiled area (m²)
Measure each surface receiving the same tile and layout.
Excluded full-tile area (m²)
Subtract only areas that receive no tile; small penetrations still create cuts.
Tile length (mm)
Use the nominal face dimension of one tile.
Tile width (mm)
Use the nominal face dimension of one tile.
Cutting and breakage allowance (%)
Choose from the actual layout complexity, not one universal percentage.
Declared coverage per pack (m²/pack)
Use the supplier label for the exact tile and batch.
