Carpet Tile Calculator

Carpet Tile Calculator

Enter your floor area, tile size and wastage to get exactly how many carpet tiles and boxes you need — plus leftover tiles and the total cost in rupees. Modular 50 × 50 cm tiles are sold per box; indicative India 2026 pricing.

Your floor

Each tile covers 2.69 sq ft. We add 8% for cuts at walls and round up to full boxes — carpet tiles are sold per box, never loose. Use 10–15% wastage for diagonal, quarter-turn or busy-edged rooms. Indicative India 2026; confirm pack size and dye-lot with your supplier.

Plan the lay pattern & colour

Take these numbers into DesignAI for lay pattern, colour blocks and a spare-box plan.

Before you order

  • Buy one spare box beyond the calculated quantity — carpet tiles let you swap a stained or worn tile individually, which is their biggest advantage over broadloom.
  • Match the dye-lot. Tiles from different production batches can vary subtly in shade; order all boxes (and your spare) in one lot, and note the batch number.
  • Add more wastage for diagonal, quarter-turn or ashlar lays and rooms with many cut edges, columns or curves (10–15% rather than 8%).
  • Costs are indicative India 2026 and exclude adhesive, tackifier and laying labour.
