Which calculation to choose

Tile calculator

For tiles: relate covered area, tile dimensions and cutting allowance.

Paint calculator

For paint: estimate volume from area, coats and the stated coverage or consumption.

What to prepare

Measure actual dimensions, account for openings and check packaging data. Choose allowance for the layout and surface condition.

Common mistake

One allowance is not suitable for every layout. Area, item count and package count are different quantities.

FAQ

Should I add extra material?

Usually yes. A reserve helps cover cutting, defects and waste.

Can I calculate several rooms at once?

For now, calculate each room separately and add the results.

Are product sizes important?

Yes. Real pack area, roll size and paint coverage can change the final amount.
