This is where details are easiest to misjudge
Tile Installation Calculator
Estimate tile installation costs, including area, tile format, substrate preparation, waterproofing, material allowance, skirting tiles and 45-degree cuts.
This calculator helps you distinguish a simple surface from a project where precision truly shapes the result.
Tiles forgive less than most finishing works.
Tiles, material allowance and details in one place
Estimate Tiling Scope
Enter surfaces, choose the difficulty level and decide whether to add material, waterproofing, skirting tiles and cuts.
Treat the result as a strong reference point before a conversation and individual quote.
Surface area and material allowance
- Work zones - you can add several surfaces, for example a floor, walls, kitchen, hallway or shower area.
- Work area - the calculator calculates labour cost from the tile installation area.
- Material allowance - it separately shows the tile area to purchase after adding the selected allowance.
Pricing elements
- Tile format - standard, small, decorative or large-format, because each variant requires a different amount of work.
- Tile layout - straight layout, staggered pattern, herringbone, decorative layout or a more demanding pattern.
- Substrate preparation - from no preparation to removal, levelling and preparation for a new finish.
- Auxiliary materials - adhesives, grout and basic materials needed for tile installation.
- Waterproofing - a separate item for bathrooms, showers and other wet areas.
- Skirting tiles and 45-degree cuts - added in linear metres if the scope requires more precise edge finishing.
How to read the result
- Labour and material cost - the summary separates labour, preparation, auxiliary materials, tiles, waterproofing and details.
- Price per m² - the average rate shows how format, pattern and preparation affect the whole budget.
- Indicative estimate - the final cost depends on levels, cuts, corners, drains, grout, expansion joints and substrate quality.
