Formula and assumptions

How the calculator works

Tile Sq Ft = Area × (1 + Waste %) Tile Cost = Tile Sq Ft × Tile Cost Per Sq Ft Labor Cost = Area × Labor Rate Suggested Price = Total Cost / (1 - Target Margin)

Common mistakes this catches

  • Buying no waste for cuts, pattern, or breakage.
  • Ignoring demolition, floor prep, waterproofing, backer board, trims, and transitions.
  • Using one labor rate for simple floors and complex showers/patterns.
