How this page works it out

120 sq ft with 12 in by 12 in tiles, 10 percent waste, and 15 tiles in a box needs 132 tiles and 9 boxes. Each tile is 1.00 sq ft and a box covers 15.00 sq ft. The waste percent is an example, and a partial tile still counts as one.

The count adds the waste, divides by one tile, and rounds a remainder up to a whole tile. Boxes round up the same way.

The English sample uses feet and inches. Switching the unit buttons reads the same boxes in meters and centimeters. The numbers stay in this browser.
