No waste is added unless you enter it — add some for edge cuts, patterns and breakage. Enter the SF per box to get the box count.

  1. Area
    length × width
    12' 0" × 10' 0" = 120.00 SF
  2. Tiles per SF
    144 ÷ ((width + joint) × (length + joint))
    144 ÷ (( 1' 0" + 1/8" ) × ( 2' 0" + 1/8" )) = 0.4923
  3. Tiles
    area × per SF, rounded up
    120.00 SF × 0.4923 = 60
  4. Grout
    joint volume (per SF × joint × (width + length + joint) × thickness) ÷ 385 in³ per 25 lb
    100.0 in³ ÷ 385 × 25 lb = 6.5 lb = 1

Where the numbers come from

  • Tiles per square foot: 144 ÷ ((width + joint) × (length + joint)) — 12×24 with ⅛" joints = 0.4923 per SFWorked out from the tile size: each tile takes its own face plus one joint each way. Layout cuts at the edges, patterns (diagonal, herringbone) and breakage are not included — enter waste for those.
  • Grout: Joint volume ÷ 385 in³ per 25 lb bag of sanded groutJoint volume per tile = joint × (width + length + joint) × tile thickness. Custom Building Products' Polyblend Plus Sanded chart (25 lb bag) gives the same answer for every bulk tile size and joint width when read this way — 12×12×⅜ at ⅛" = 348 SF, 18×18 = 518, 12×24 = 461 — each about 385 in³ of joint per bag. Mosaics on sheets and other brands differ; check the bag.Source
