Tile quantity and cost calculator

How many tiles and how much adhesive and grout do I need?

Tile quantity depends on tile dimensions, joint width and complete rows and columns. Add your waste allowance and round to whole packs; adhesive and grout use the product’s consumption per m² separately.

Analysis & guidance

  • How quantities are calculated

    Dimensions and product data determine quantities rounded up for purchase. Check cutting plans and actual consumption before ordering.

  • What should you check?

    The model assumes straight laying without reusing edge offcuts. Diagonal layouts, recesses and multiple surfaces need a cutting plan. Joint width changes tile count, but grout consumption must be updated from product instructions. Adhesive and grout have no extra waste factor: include your allowance in consumption. Waterproofing, primer and tools are excluded. Follow the system supplier’s wet-room instructions.

About this calculator

Tile quantity and cost calculator

How many tiles and how much adhesive and grout do I need?

Tile quantity depends on tile dimensions, joint width and complete rows and columns. Add your waste allowance and round to whole packs; adhesive and grout use the product’s consumption per m² separately.

Tiles are counted as complete rows and columns across a rectangle, with joints between tiles. Selected waste is added to the count before rounding up to whole packs. Adhesive and grout are separate: area × entered kg/m² ÷ package weight.

Worked example

The prices below are illustrative inputs, not market prices. Replace them with your quotes or store prices.

Length: 2 m; Width: 1 m; Tile length: 0.5 m; Tile width: 0.5 m; Joint width: 0 mm; Waste: 10%.

4 × 2 × 1.10 = 8.8 → 9 tiles needed. Tiles per pack: 6 → 2 tile packs = 12 purchased tiles.

Adhesive consumption: 3 kg/m²; Adhesive bag size: 5 kg → 2 adhesive bags. Grout consumption: 0.5 kg/m²; Grout bag size: 2 kg → 1 grout bags.

Price per tile pack: 100 SEK; Price per adhesive bag: 50 SEK; Price per grout bag: 40 SEK. Material subtotal: 2 × 100 + 2 × 50 + 40 = 340 SEK. Labor budget: 200 SEK; Delivery budget: 30 SEK → total budget: 570 SEK.

What is excluded from the material budget?

Joint width changes tile count, but grout consumption must be updated from product instructions. Adhesive and grout have no extra waste factor: include your allowance in consumption.
