How to estimate

1. Measure the area you're covering - length × width.
2. Pick the grade or material that matches your project.
3. Read the estimated installed cost range for your area.

What drives the cost

• Tile material - ceramic is cheapest; porcelain, then natural stone (marble, travertine) cost more per ft².
• Layout complexity - diagonal, herringbone and mosaic take more time than a straight grid.
• Surface prep - leveling, backer board, removing old flooring and waterproofing (wet areas) add labor.
• Room size and cuts - small bathrooms have more cuts per ft², nudging the rate up.
• Local labor rates - the biggest regional swing.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to tile a floor?

Installed, most floors run about $7–$18 per square foot for ceramic or porcelain (labor + materials); natural stone and intricate layouts push $18–$30+. A 100 ft² room lands roughly $700–$1,800 standard. Enter your area above.

How much of the cost is labor vs materials?

Labor is usually $4–$12 per square foot; the tile itself ranges from about $1 (basic ceramic) to $15+ (natural stone). Prep and complex patterns raise the labor share.

Does a diagonal or herringbone layout cost more?

Yes - angled and interlocking patterns need more cuts and precision, so installers charge more than a straight grid. Budget toward the higher end of the range.

Why is this only an estimate?

Local rates, wall/floor condition, waterproofing and how much prep is needed all move the price. Use this as a national-average starting point, then get local quotes.
