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
