The Linoleum (Vinyl) Tile Count for a Room with Squared Bump-out calculator computes the number of linoleum or vinyl tiles and the amount of adhesive needed to cover an area or room with a squared bump-out based on the area's dimensions and the size of the tiles specified.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (L) Room Length
- (W) Room Width
- (BW) Bump-out Opening Width
- (BD) Bump-out Depth
- (TW) Tile Width
- (TL) Tile Length
- (SM) Safety Margin (percent added to estimate)
Tile Count (TC): The calculator returns the number of tiles required to cover the area. The calculator also returns:
- (A) Square Feet of Area
- (TA) Gallons of Tile Adhesive (Hi - Low Range)
The Math Science
This calculator computes the number of linoleum (vinyl) tiles as follows:
- computing the total area of floor with squared bump-out
- dividing the total area by the unit dimension of the selected tile.
- the safety margin factor is applied (default 10% to account for partial cuts and broken tiles)
- the number is rounded up
Adhesive Requirement
When not using self-adhesive tiles, Vinyl Composition Tile Adhesive may be required. The Tile Adhesive range is the low to high range of adhesive requirements for the area based on manufacturer recommendations that a gallon of adhesive covers between 160 and 350 square feet per gallon.

Linoleum and Vinyl Tile Calculators
- Number of Tiles (Linoleum or Vinyl):
This estimates the number of linoleum or vinyl tiles needed for a rectangular area or room based on the area dimensions and the size of the tile. The calculator also provides the adhesive requirement for the area. - Number of Tiles (Linoleum or Vinyl) for Room with Angled Bump-out and Number of Tiles (Linoleum or Vinyl) for Room with Squared Bump-out: These calculators estimates the number of tiles needed for an area or room with a bump-out (angled bump-out or squared bump-out) based on the area dimensions and the size of the tile. The calculator also provides the adhesive requirement for the area.
