Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.
Construction
Tile Quantity Calculator
Estimate how many tiles you need for a floor or wall, including a built-in 10% allowance for cuts and breakage. Multiply the floor area by the inverse tile area, round up, then add 10%.

Construction
Roof Area Calculator
Calculate the true sloped surface area of a roof from its footprint dimensions and pitch angle. The slope multiplier (1/cos(pitch)) corrects for the fact that a pitched roof has more material area than the horizontal footprint it covers.
