A tile-cutting measurement device includes a telescoping elongated body. The telescoping elongated body has a first distal end and a second distal end. A tile marker holder is disposed on the second distal end substantially parallel to the elongated body. The tile marker holder holds a tile marker. The first distal end of the tile-cutting measurement device is placed against a vertical surface such as a wall. When the tile-cutting measurement device travels along the wall, the marker traces a line along a loose tile to be cut that corresponds to the contours of the vertical surface. After the tile is measured in this manner, it will be cut along the line. The cut side of the tile is then fitted along the vertical surface. Advantageously, the tile-cutting measurement device is a portable and easy-to-use tool that allows for precise tile cutting measurements.
