Roof Shingle Calculator
Calculate how many shingles you need for your roof with our comprehensive calculator. Determine materials, costs, and estimate your roofing project requirements.
Step 1: Roof Dimensions
Understanding Roof Pitch
Roof pitch affects the actual surface area of your roof. Steeper roofs have more surface area than flat roofs of the same dimensions. The pitch factor adjusts for this.
Step 2: Shingle Specifications
About Waste Factor
Waste factor accounts for cutting, trimming, and mistakes during installation. Complex roofs with many hips and valleys require higher waste factors (15-20%). Simple roofs need less (5-10%).
