How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the room length and width in feet.
  2. Select the carpet tile size (18×18 or 24×24 inches).
  3. Choose the installation pattern — monolithic, quarter-turn, or ashlar/brick (each adds different waste).
  4. Review the total tile count and recommended box quantity.
  5. Add 5–10% to the box count for on-site cuts and future replacements.
