The Tile Count Estimator: Number of Tiles (Linoleum or Vinyl) computes the number of tiles needed to cover an area based on the area's dimensions and the size of the tiles.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (L) Room Length
• (W) Room Width
• (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:

1. computing the total area (length * width)
2. dividing the total area by the unit dimension of the selected tile.
3. the safety margin factor is applied (default 10% to account for partial cuts and broken tiles)
4. the number is rounded up

Adhesive Requirement

When not using self-adhesive tiles, 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.
• Tile Price Comparison: This determines which box of tile covers the most area per dollar based on the size of tile, number of tile per box and price per box of tile.
• Tile Price per Square Foot: This computes the $ per square foot for a box or case of tiles based on the tile dimensions, number of tiles in the box or case, and price of the box.
• Tile COST Estimator: This estimates the cost of tiles based on the dimensions of the area, dimensions of the tiles and price per tile.
