Tile Calculator for Pakistan: how many tiles and boxes you need

Enter your room length and width in feet, choose the tile size you are buying, and add wastage. The calculator tells you how many tiles and how many boxes to order. It works for a single bathroom or a whole 5 marla, 10 marla or 1 kanal house. It is built by ArcheTiles, a tile fixing company working in Islamabad and Rawalpindi and Lahore and Karachi, so once you know your quantity you can send it straight to us for a fixing quote.

Or fill a whole plot

1 marla = 272.25 sq ft, 1 kanal = 20 marla. These presets use the full plot area; covered floor area is usually less.

10% for straight layouts, 15% for diagonal or rooms with many cuts.

Printed on the carton. 2×4 ft boxes usually hold 2 to 4 tiles.

How to measure a room for tiles

  1. Measure the longest wall and the widest wall of the room in feet, wall to wall.
  2. Multiply them for the floor area. For an L-shaped room, split it into two rectangles and add them.
  3. For walls, measure width × height for each wall you are tiling and subtract doors and windows.
  4. Add wastage. Never order the exact count — cuts, corners and a dropped tile will use it up.
  5. Order everything from one batch. Shade varies between batches and a top-up later rarely matches.

Tile sizes used in Pakistan

Tiles are sold in feet here, while the box shows centimetres. Both are listed so you can match them.

  • 1×1 ft (30×30 cm)1 sq ft per tile
  • 1×2 ft (30×60 cm)2 sq ft per tile
  • 2×2 ft (60×60 cm)4 sq ft per tile
  • 2×4 ft (60×120 cm)8 sq ft per tile
  • 4×4 ft (120×120 cm)16 sq ft per tile
  • 4×8 ft (120×240 cm)32 sq ft per tile
  • 5×10 ft (160×320 cm)50 sq ft per tile

Anything 2×4 ft and up counts as large-format and needs a specialist fixer with suction lifters, levelling clips and a flat substrate. Read about our 2×4 and 4×8 tile fixing service before you buy.

Tile calculator FAQs

How many 2×4 tiles do I need for a 10 marla house?
A 10 marla plot is about 2,722 sq ft of ground area, but the tiled floor area is usually 60–75% of that once walls, stairs and bathrooms are taken out. Measure each room and add them up, or use the full-plot preset for a rough ceiling figure. Each 2×4 ft (60×120 cm) tile covers 8 sq ft, so 1,800 sq ft of floor needs about 225 tiles before wastage and 248 with 10% added.
How much wastage should I add for tiles?
Add 10% for a straight layout in a regular room. Go to 15% for diagonal layouts, rooms with many corners or niches, and for large-format 4×8 ft (120×240 cm) slabs where a single bad cut wastes a whole piece. Always keep a few spare tiles from the same batch for future repairs — the shade will not match a later batch.
Does the calculator show the tile fixing price?
Not yet. Fixing labour in Pakistan depends on tile size, floor condition, and whether levelling or waterproofing is needed, so we quote it after a site survey rather than showing a number that could be wrong for your house. Send us the calculator result on WhatsApp and we will come back with a firm quote.
Should I measure in feet or metres?
Feet. Pakistani plots, rooms and tile sizes are all sold and quoted in feet, and the calculator uses feet throughout. Every tile size is also shown in centimetres so you can match it to the size printed on the box.
How many tiles come in a box?
It depends on the size and brand. Common Pakistani cartons hold 4 tiles of 2×2 ft, 2 to 4 tiles of 2×4 ft, and 1 to 2 slabs of 4×8 ft. Check the carton label and enter that number so the box count is right for the tile you are actually buying.
