The complete workspace

Roofing Project Calculator

Add a main roof, garage, addition or matching dormers with separate pitches. The workspace combines their area, rounds each material package independently and produces a saved, shareable report.

Framing and project budgets

Check reference geometry or organize your quoted costs.

Before you calculate

Prepare reliable measurements

Read the guides and download free worksheets

Calculator results are only as useful as the measurements entered. A few checks before you start can prevent large errors later in the project.

  • Use one unit system consistently and double-check every measurement.
  • Measure the horizontal run—not the sloped roof surface—when finding pitch.
  • Record each roof plane separately for roofs with multiple sections.
  • Note valleys, hips, dormers, overhangs and penetrations before estimating waste.
