Compare the same project across flooring types

These are broad installed planning ranges for the area you entered. Your live estimate above is more specific because it includes scope, waste, prep, removal and region.

COST SNAPSHOT

Start with a range. Then price the actual job.

Tile flooring commonly runs about $12–$50 per sq. ft. installed, with ceramic at the lower end and porcelain/stone often higher.

FloorCalc planning data refreshed August 2026. See methodology and sources.

The number that matters is the total scope.

Product price alone can miss labor, tear-out, subfloor work, waste, stairs, transitions and finishing. FloorCalc exposes those items instead of burying them in one multiplier.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Tile Flooring Cost Calculator FAQ

How much does it cost to tile a floor?

Typical installed tile costs vary widely. Ceramic often falls around $12–$40 per square foot and porcelain around $15–$50, depending on material and labor.

How much does it cost to tile a 10×10 bathroom floor?

A 10×10 floor is 100 square feet before waste. Enter the dimensions and choose ceramic, porcelain or stone plus your layout to get a project-specific range.

How much should tile labor cost?

Tile labor is often a major portion of the project because layout, cuts, substrate prep and setting take time. FloorCalc displays labor separately and lets you enter a local rate.

How much extra tile should I buy?

Straight layouts often use roughly 10% extra; diagonal, herringbone, natural stone and rooms with many cuts may need 12–20% or more.
