Try: Room area=120, Area unit=sqft, Tile width=12, Tile height=24, Grout width=0.125, Waste=10, Tiles per box=10, Adhesive (lb/ft²)=0, Bag covers (ft²)=50 → 120.00 ft², 12 × 24 in, 60, 10%, 65, 7 (10/box), 6 lb

How to use

Wall tiles are often larger (12×24 in) or subway (3×6 in). Enter the wall area and tile size; the tool adds grout and a waste margin for cuts around outlets and edges.

FAQ

How do I measure a wall area?

Multiply the wall height by its width, then subtract any large openings like windows or a shower niche.

Why more waste on walls?

Walls have more edges, sockets, and fixtures to cut around, so 10–15% waste is typical.
