About Flooring Calculator
The Flooring Calculator from ToolsOfIndia gives home owners, contractors and interior designers a quick, dependable way to get answers without wrestling with formulas. Measurements use the metric sizes standard on Indian sites - 190 mm bricks, 50 kg cement bags and metre-based schedules of rates. Estimate the flooring material needed for a room by entering the dimensions and the tile or plank size, with the tool adding the wastage that real laying always produces. The tool shows the area in square feet and square metres, the number of tiles or planks, and the cost from a per-unit rate. Indian flooring is quoted in square feet, with tile sizes like 600 by 600 mm and 800 by 800 mm common, and the tool handles the unit switches. Because it is a pure local calc, nothing is uploaded. It is the flooring estimate that a tile order with too few boxes always forces a second trip. You will find it handy when estimating tiles for a room, while ordering flooring with wastage, or before costing a flooring job from a rate. Everything is free with no usage caps, and nothing asks for your email address.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to calculate flooring needed?
Calculate room area (L×W), add waste factor (5-10% straight lay, 15% diagonal), divide by tile/plank area to get quantity. Example: 200 sq ft room + 10% = 220 sq ft needed.
What flooring waste factor should I add?
Straight lay: 5-7% waste. Diagonal/pattern: 10-15% waste. Irregular rooms: 10-15%. Always order extra for future repairs as matching exact dye lots may be impossible.
How many tiles per square meter?
60×60cm tiles: 2.78 tiles/m². 30×60cm: 5.56 tiles/m². 30×30cm: 11.11 tiles/m². 15×60cm plank: 11.11 pieces/m².
How much wastage should I add for tiles?
About 10 per cent for straight laying and 15 per cent for diagonal, which the tool includes as a wastage allowance.
Why is flooring quoted in square feet?
Indian tile and flooring rates are quoted per square foot, so the tool shows the area in both feet and metres.
