Area = L x W : 14X16 = 224 SF. Typically you would add 7-10% for breakage & cuts, sometimes adding more depending on the material being used and the pattern being installed. A pattern requiring many cuts (i.e. diagonal, staggered, hopscotch) you may want to add 10-12%, more if natural stone. Also, use Square Footage to purchase materials, not the amount of tiles. Why? A 12X12 is not necessarily a 12X12; some are bigger, some are smaller. Some sizes can get confusing with overseas manufacturing. European tiles are typically Metric, so a 30X30 may really be 30X30 cm, but that's a little smaller than 12X12 in standard measurements.
