This guide goes beyond a basic calculator, it teaches you how professionals estimate flooring.

Why Most People in Gulf Miscalculate Tiles & Marble

Most homeowners and even small contractors make these costly mistakes:

Overbuying tiles (5–15% budget waste)

Underestimating material → work stops mid-project

Ignoring cutting/wastage

No labor cost planning

Wrong tile size calculations (inches vs feet confusion)

Result: Budget overruns + delays

Tiles and Marble Calculator

Step 1: Measure Room Area

First, measure your room:

Length (in feet or meters)
Width (in feet or meters)

Then multiply both:

Area = Length × Width

👉 Example (feet):
Room = 10 ft × 12 ft
Area = 120 sq ft

👉 Example (meters):
Room = 3 m × 4 m
Area = 12 sq meters

Step 2: Convert Tile Size

In Gulf countries, tiles are usually in millimeters (mm), so you need to convert them into meters.

Tile Area = (Length ÷ 1000) × (Width ÷ 1000)

👉 Example:
Tile size = 600 mm × 600 mm
600 ÷ 1000 = 0.6 m

Tile area = 0.6 × 0.6 = 0.36 sq meters

Step 3: Calculate Number of Tiles

Now divide room area by tile area and add some extra for wastage:

Tiles Required = (Room Area ÷ Tile Area) + Wastage

👉 Example:
Room area = 12 sq meters
Tile area = 0.36 sq meters

12 ÷ 0.36 = 33.3 → round up = 34 tiles

Add 5% extra:
Total ≈ 36 tiles

Step 4: Calculate Total Cost

Total Cost = Material Cost + Labor Cost

👉 Example:
Tile price = 8 AED per tile
Tiles = 36

Material cost = 36 × 8 = 288 AED

Labor cost (average):
10 AED per sq meter

12 × 10 = 120 AED

👉 Total cost = 408 AED
