50x50mm is about like2 x 2" so then you take that and turn it into ft. which will take 36 tiles per ft squared so then you take 36 ( tiles to make a Sq. ft) x 60 (how any sq. ft u want) = 2,160 tiles but when it comes to tile i would get a few extra in case some break

50mm x 50mm = 2x2" =4 square inches. 60sq. ft = 8640 sq in" divide by 4 to get amount of tiles, that = 2162 tiles. You can subtract 10% for grouting, that makes 1946 tiles you will need. Grouting such small tiles is a bit more than 10% so you will be left with sufficient tiles to allow for aberations like edges. It is very difficult to break such small tiles so you don't have to take account of broken tiles.

After you decide how many tiles to buy, don't forget to add 5 or 10% for waste...that corner tile with the little nitch for a water pipe may just break, and you'll need another one!

There are 25.4 mm to an inch, approximately. Convert the tile size to inches.
There are 144 square inches in a square foot.
The rest is up to you.
