Roof Calculator
Calculate roof area and material quantities.
Simple gable estimate from building footprint and roof pitch. Complex hips/valleys need a surveyor’s measure.

In-depth explanation
Estimate gable roof surface area from building footprint and pitch angle, then convert to packs using coverage and wastage. Everything runs locally in your browser — your inputs are not uploaded to produce the result.
Steeper roofs have more surface area. Area ≈ footprint ÷ cos(pitch angle). It’s a simple gable approximation. Hips, valleys, and dormers need a more detailed take-off.
How much roof area one pack of tiles/shingles covers — check the product label. Tweak the inputs above to compare options, then copy or note the result you need.
