Suspended Ceiling Calculator

Planning a suspended ceiling? Our free Suspended Ceiling Calculator makes it easy to work out the materials you need for your project.

Simply enter the length and width of your room, choose your ceiling tile and enter the required ceiling drop. The calculator will automatically calculate the quantities of 600 x 600mm ceiling tiles, 3600mm main tees, 1200mm cross tees, 600mm cross tees, wall angle and suspension wire required to complete your suspended ceiling. The calculator uses a standard 24mm exposed suspended ceiling grid system, with main tees positioned at 1200mm centres and cross tees creating the 600 x 600mm grid required for standard ceiling tiles. It also calculates the perimeter wall angle and suspension wire required based on the dimensions and drop of your ceiling. 

Calculate Materials and Allow for Wastage

You can select a percentage allowance to help account for cut tiles, offcuts and general wastage. The calculator then converts the calculated quantities into the actual pack sizes and units available, making it easier to create an accurate materials list and order everything you need. 

Your calculated parts list includes:

  • 600 x 600mm suspended ceiling tiles
  • 3600mm main tees
  • 1200mm cross tees
  • 600mm cross tees
  • 3000mm wall angle
  • Suspension wire 

Whether you're installing a suspended ceiling in an office, shop, commercial building, workshop or other interior space, the calculator provides a quick and simple way to estimate the ceiling tiles and grid required before ordering.
