My kitchen backsplash taught me to always buy 15% extra tile after a miscalculation on a diagonal cut job in March.

What's your go-to overage percentage for tricky layouts?

A contractor buddy swears by 20% extra for any herringbone pattern.

Heard it can be even more waste, like 25%.

I did 30% extra on mine and still ran short, it was brutal.
