Quantity / scenario planning · Reviewed 7 October 2026Your inputs
Check all starting values against your project and product. Enter your own prices; keep costs on the same GST basis.
How to prepare your inputs
Measure each surface, choose the exact product and read its pack coverage or consumption rate. Confirm cuts, joints, depth and thickness.
How this calculation works
Approximate kg/m² = [(tile length + tile width) ÷ (tile length × tile width)] × joint width × filled depth × product factor.
300 × 300 mm tiles, 3 mm joints, 8 mm depth and factor 1.6 use about 0.256 kg/m² before allowance.
Assumptions & exclusions
Generic approximate joint-network formula; small tiles and wide joints need supplier verification. The factor is illustrative: enter your product’s consumption factor. Does not recommend joint size or product.
Your next step
Check substrate preparation, adhesive compatibility, expansion joints, curing and supplier quantities with your tiler.

What if my shape or product is different?
Use dimensions and product data that match the stated method. For complex work, calculate separate sections or obtain a project-specific take-off. Do not apply simple geometry to structural or compliance decisions.
Why are quantities rounded up?
Whole bags, packs, sheets or cartridges round up to purchasable units. Decimal area or volume results are planning figures; confirm order increments with the supplier.
Are my entries saved?
No. Entries remain in the current browser page and clear on reload. Printing can save your results and inputs as a PDF on your device.
