How this calculator works
Step 1
Enter room dimensions
Input length and width in metres or feet — the calculator converts to square metres.
Step 2
Set pack coverage and waste
Use the m² per pack from the product spec, then add your waste percentage.
Step 3
Round packs up
Divide total area by pack coverage and round up — you cannot order part packs.
When to add more waste
- Straight lay — 5–10%
- Herringbone or diagonal — 10–15%
- Awkward rooms with many cuts — 12–20%
Why use this free calculator?
- Avoid under-ordering packs that delay installs or over-ordering that erodes margin.
- Apply the right waste factor for straight lay, herringbone or awkward rooms.
- Optionally estimate material cost before sending the quote.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using net room area without waste on the quote
- Quoting packs from net area instead of rounding up after waste
- Mixing up m² per pack with tiles per pack on the product spec
