What this means
Cost appears when price per box is supplied. Grout is noted as an estimate because joint width matters.
Formula used
Tiles = ceil(area / tile area). With waste = ceil(tiles x (1 + waste%)). Boxes = ceil(tiles / tiles per box).
Worked example
A 2.4m by 2m wall with 300x600mm tiles needs 30 tiles with 10% waste, or 4 boxes of 8.
Common questions
Can I use this internationally?
Yes. Currency selectors are display-only unless a tool explicitly says otherwise; no currency conversion is performed.
How exact is the result?
It follows the published Technofatty formula for this tool, but real life can add fees, rules, timing quirks, and context.
Plain-English summary
I need 30 tiles / 4 boxes including waste.
