How to use this calculator
Estimate simple roof surface area from footprint dimensions, roof pitch, sections, and waste.
How the calculation works
- Enter the project dimensions or quantities.
- Choose the unit and optional waste factor where relevant.
- Review the rounded material estimate and supporting details.
Formula
Roof area = footprint area x pitch multiplier x number of sections.
Example
A 30 ft by 20 ft roof with 6:12 pitch has about 671 sq ft per two matching sections before waste.
Understanding your result
Use the output as a practical starting point, then review it before using it in an important workflow.
Assumptions and limitations
- Supports simple roof geometry only. Complex roofs should be measured plane by plane.
