Always Retain 1-2 Spare Tile Boxes: Keep 15-20 sq.ft of spare tiles or wood planks from your original batch. Future shade matching for plumbing or structural repairs is nearly impossible once a batch is sold out.

This calculator provides an estimate based on the floor dimensions, material price, wastage, installation rate, skirting and other costs entered. Actual quantities and costs may vary due to material dimensions, room geometry, cutting, pattern, surface preparation, labour rates, transportation and supplier pricing. Verify measurements and quotations before purchasing materials or finalizing a contract.

How to Calculate Flooring Cost

Estimating your complete flooring budget involves calculating net room area, adding cutting wastage, calculating material purchase cost, and incorporating installation labour and skirting.

Step 1

Calculate Floor Area

Multiply Room Length × Room Width to obtain the total floor area in square feet.

Step 2

Add Cutting Wastage

Add 10% (straight layout) or 15% (diagonal/herringbone layout) to account for wall cuts and tile breakage.

Step 3

Material Cost

Multiply total material required (with wastage) by the supplier price per sq. ft.

Step 4

Add Installation & Skirting

Add contractor installation labour per sq. ft. and perimeter border skirting cost to derive the total all-in budget.
