Method

Required bags = tiled area × (1 + waste percentage) ÷ coverage per bag, rounded up to a whole pack.

Turn a tiled area and manufacturer coverage figure into an adhesive bag count with a visible waste allowance and estimated cost. The linked Sellible tool keeps the fields, units and output together so the assumptions can be reviewed before the result is used.

  1. 1

    Measure walls and floors separately where build-ups differ.

  2. 2

    Use the coverage printed for the chosen trowel and tile format.

  3. 3

    Enter pack price if a budget total is useful.

Worked example

Example values and result

What the result means

The geometric requirement is four bags, but a 10% allowance pushes the order to five whole bags. Coverage can fall on uneven backgrounds or with larger notch sizes.
