Peel and Stick Tile Calculator

About this calculator

The calculation is straightforward coverage math: number of tiles = (area to cover ÷ area per tile), rounded up and increased by a waste allowance — typically 10% for a simple square layout and up to 15-20% for diagonal patterns, rooms with lots of cuts, or a first-time DIY install where mistakes are likely. That buffer accounts for edge cuts, pattern matching, and breakage.

DIY homeowners use this before ordering peel-and-stick vinyl or LVT tile so they don't run short mid-project and end up with a mismatched dye lot on a return trip, while flooring installers and contractors use the same math to quote material costs accurately on a job.
