Formula & assumptions

How the roofing cost calculator works

Estimated total = roof area × material rate + roof area × labor rate + roof area × tear-off rate + fixed extras. Rates are editable and should be replaced with local values.

For a better estimate

Use roof surface area rather than home floor area.
Compare quotes that include the same underlayment, flashing, ventilation, disposal and warranty scope.
Permit, decking repair, steep-slope access and complex geometry can materially change installed price.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does a roof replacement cost?+

Installed cost depends on roof area, material, labor market, tear-off, decking condition, access, pitch and project complexity.

What does cost per roofing square mean?+

A roofing square is 100 square feet, so cost per square is the total project cost divided by roof area in hundreds of square feet.

Does this calculator give a contractor quote?+

No. It is a planning model based on the rates you enter and should be compared with site-specific local quotes.
