# TilePro Calculator

> Free professional tile layout calculator for contractors, installers, and DIY enthusiasts. Calculate exact tile quantities, visualize patterns, estimate costs, and plan cuts — no signup required.

## Core Tool

The calculator at /calculator lets you:
- Enter room and tile dimensions in any unit (in, ft, cm, mm)
- Choose from 10+ tile patterns (straight, brick, herringbone, diagonal, staggered, custom)
- See a real-time visual SVG preview of your tile layout
- Add surfaces for multi-wall corner planning (backsplashes, showers)
- Place obstacles (windows, outlets) to see how tiles cut around them
- Get exact tile counts with cut detection and waste estimates
- Estimate material costs with price-per-tile or price-per-sqft
- Optimize tile placement to maximize full tiles and minimize cuts
- Export PDF with material lists and cut details
- Share layouts via URL
- Get tile size recommendations based on your surface type and priorities

## Calculators

Surface- and material-specific calculator landing pages:
- [Floor Tile Calculator](/floor-tile-calculator) — room-size inputs, common floor tile sizes (12×12 to 24×24 in), pattern-aware waste estimates
- [Wall Tile Calculator](/wall-tile-calculator) — per-wall measurement, window/fixture subtraction, vertical pattern layouts for showers, backsplashes, and accent walls
- [Tile Spacing & Grout Calculator](/tile-spacing-calculator) — grout-line spacing and coverage

Wall vs floor: both use the same formula (area ÷ tile area × waste factor) but differ on tile rating (walls PEI 0–2, floors PEI 3–5), typical tile size, openings, and edge handling — use the wall calculator for walls and the floor calculator for floors.
