Floor/wall tile calculator

Reference market rates

Estimate tile count and boxes for an area by tile size and laying pattern — common reference waste rates.

Inputs

Enter the area to tile and choose tile size and laying pattern.

m²
Result

Enter an area and press “Calculate tiles” to see the result.

Source & verification
Reference market rates

The coefficients/rates come from commonly used market references in Vietnam — not TCVN, not the applicable norms for your project. Use as a starting point and adjust to your case.

Tiles per m² by size and laying pattern plus reference cutting waste — common Vietnamese practice, not TCVN.

About the tile calculator

Estimate how many tiles and boxes to buy for floor/wall tiling — answering “how many 60×60 tiles for a room of X m²”.

What you enter

Area to tile (m²), tile size (30×30 up to 60×120 cm) and laying pattern (straight/staggered/diagonal) which sets the waste %.

What the result means

Tiles needed (including waste, rounded up) and ≈ boxes via common tiles-per-box packagings — boxes round up since brands sell whole boxes.

Use cases

Estimating floor tiles for a home, wall tiles for bathroom/kitchen; comparing box counts across tile sizes; cross-checking quantities in estimates.

Waste and box packagings are reference values — each brand packs differently and real waste depends on room shape, number of cuts and pattern. Buy ~1 extra box for future repairs and confirm the packaging with your supplier before ordering.

Worked example

A 25 m² room with 60×60 tiles (0.36 m²/tile), straight lay, 5% waste → 25 ÷ 0.36 ≈ 69.4 tiles → with waste ≈ 73 tiles ≈ 19 boxes (4/box).

Frequently asked questions

How many 60×60 tiles for a 20 m² room?

≈ 56 tiles before waste (20 ÷ 0.36), about 59–62 tiles with 5–10% waste — the tool rounds up and converts to boxes.

How much extra should I buy?

Pick the waste % matching your pattern (straight 5, staggered 10, diagonal 15%); keep ~1 extra box for repairs since the same code from a later batch may differ in tone.

Where do the tiles-per-box values come from?

Common market packagings (60×60 → 4/box…) — brands differ, so check the packaging/supplier before ordering boxes.

Does it estimate adhesive/grout?

No — it only counts tiles and boxes; adhesive/mortar and grout follow each brand's own coverage rates.

How it works

Tile count = area ÷ tile face area × (1 + waste % by pattern), rounded up; boxes are converted by common tiles-per-box packagings.

Reference waste: straight lay ≈5%, staggered ≈10%, diagonal 45° ≈15% — rooms with many cuts or patterned layouts may waste more. Reference boxes: 60×60 → 4/box, 30×60 → 8, 80×80 → 3, 40×40 → 6, 30×30 → 11, 60×120 → 2 — check the actual packaging as brands differ.
