How this grout calculator works

Tiled area is increased by the waste allowance and divided by package coverage, then rounded up to whole packages.

How to use it

  1. Tiled area. Enter the value in sq ft.
  2. Coverage per package. Enter the value in sq ft.
  3. Waste allowance. Enter the value in %.
  4. Request the result. Add your email, then select “Email & show my result.”

What to do with the number

Grout coverage changes sharply with tile size, thickness and joint width, so package coverage is the key input. Use the coverage chart on the exact grout product for your tile and joint dimensions.

Planning estimate

Use this result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Product specifications, site conditions, manufacturer guidance, local codes, taxes, labor, tolerances, and rounding can change the real requirement or cost.
