How This Calculator Works

Step 1: Enter your building's footprint dimensions (length and width at ground level).

Step 2: Select your roof pitch. Steeper roofs have more surface area than the ground footprint.

Step 3: Choose a waste factor. More complex roofs with valleys and dormers require more materials.

Pro Tip: This calculator provides estimates for simple roof shapes. For L-shaped buildings or complex designs, we recommend a professional on-site measurement.
