How it works
- Required pieces = ceil( ÷ ( × ) × (1+/100)); Whole packs = ceil(Required pieces/)
- Worked example: ceil(10 ÷ (0.5 × 0.5) × 1.1) = 44; ceil(44/8) = 6 Whole packs
- Supported input limits: : 0 ≤ x ≤ 1,000,000,000,000; : 1e-12 ≤ x ≤ 1,000,000,000,000; : 1e-12 ≤ x ≤ 1,000,000,000,000; : 1e-12 ≤ x ≤ 1,000,000,000,000; : 1e-12 ≤ x ≤ 1,000,000,000,000; : 0 ≤ x ≤ 1,000; : 1 ≤ x ≤ 100,000

Assumptions and limitations
Direct area is entered in m²; rectangle and tile sides use the selected length unit. Waste is added before rounding to pieces and packs. Grout spacing and a tile-by-tile cutting layout are not modeled.
