The calculator combines floor and wall square footage, applies a tier rate for common bathroom materials, and adjusts for layout difficulty and regional tile labor. Demolition of existing tile and waterproofing scopes add to the project subtotal before splitting into materials, labor, and prep or permit allowances.
Surface cost ≈ (floor + wall) sq ft × tier rate × pattern × region+ demolition + waterproofing scopeTotal ≈ materials + labor + prep & permitsResults are budgeting aids—not substitute quotes from licensed tile setters.
Floors, shower walls, niches, and curbs each add cuts and waste
