We can calculate the tiles required for the room in few easy steps. Here is the detailed process that how you can calculate:
Measure the Room Size
First of all measure the room physically using inches tape or any measuring tool or if you have room plan drawings see the dimensions from it. Note that is the room if not in rectangular shape then divide it to multiple rectangles and measure them seperately.
Select the Size of the Carpet Tiles
In market there are multiple standard sizes of tiles are available from which 12 x 12 inches tiles are common. So select the size of tile that you are planning to install.
Consider Extra for Cutting and Waste

Use the Carpet Tile Calculator

Example Calculation
This is an example to understand how a carpet tile calculator works:
Lets assume That
- Room Size is: 12 x 15 feet
&
- Tile Size is: 24 x 24 inches
First of all calculate the area of the room:
- Room area = 12 × 15 feet = 180 square feet
Now calculate the area of one tile:
- Tile area = 2 × 2 feet = 4 square feet
Now divide the area of room with the tile area to find the number of tiles require:
- Number of tiles = 180 square feet ÷ 4 square feet = 45 tiles
Add 5 to 10% extra for waste:
- Extra tiles = 45 tiles × 10% = 4.5 tiles
Total number of tiles require = 45 + 5 = 50 tiles
