Flooring & Tile Calculators

Work out how much flooring material to buy and what installation will cost.

Flooring is sold in units that rarely match your room: carpet comes off 12 ft rolls and is priced by the square yard, while grout is sold by the pound but used by volume in the joints. Ordering too little means a second trip and possible color differences between batches. Ordering too much wastes money on material you cannot return.

These calculators convert your room measurements into what the store actually sells. The carpet calculator lays out rolls in both directions to find the least waste, and the grout calculator uses tile size, joint width and joint depth to find the weight you need. Cost ranges are dated and linked to their sources, so you know how current they are.
