📚 How It Works

Calculation Methodology

Our calculator uses industry-standard formulas for tile estimation:

1. Total Floor Area = Σ(All Room Areas)
2. Tile Area = (Tile Length + Grout Width) × (Tile Width + Grout Width)
3. Base Tiles Needed = Total Floor Area ÷ Tile Area
4. Final Tiles = Base Tiles × (1 + Wastage%)

Key Assumptions

• Standard rectangular room shapes
• Uniform tile size throughout
• 3mm grout line width (adjustable)
• 10% default wastage for cuts and breakage

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What's the ideal wastage percentage for Indian homes?

Typically 5-15% depending on:

• Complex room layout: Add 2-5%
• Diagonal laying: Add 5-10%
• Novice workers: Add 5-7%

How do I measure irregular shaped rooms?

Break into rectangular sections and:

1. Measure each section separately
2. Calculate individual areas
3. Sum all areas for total

Why different units for room and tiles?

Common Indian practices:

Element	Common Units
Rooms	Feet/Meters
Tiles	cm (e.g., 60×60 cm)

How does grout width affect calculations?

Even small grout lines impact total tiles:

Example:
Tile: 60×60 cm
Grout: 3mm
Effective Size: 60.3×60.3 cm
Area Increase: +1.01% per tile
