Tile Adhesive Calculator — Free Online Calculator

Calculates the amount of tile adhesive needed for a tiling job.

What is it?

The tile adhesive calculator works out how many bags you need to lay tiles, based on the area and the consumption rate. Consumption depends on the trowel notch: from 4 kg/m² (6 mm notch) up to 8 kg/m² (12 mm notch).

Formula

Kg = tiling area × consumption (kg/m²) Bags = kg ÷ bag weight, rounded up. Defaults: 25 kg/bag, 4–6 kg/m² for floors, 3–4 kg/m² for walls.

Example

A bathroom with 6 m² of floor and 10 m² of walls, 16 m² in total. At 6 kg/m² for the floor and 4 kg/m² for the walls: 6 × 6 + 10 × 4 = 76 kg. In 25 kg bags: 76 / 25 = 3.04 → 4 bags.
