Before you start: the calculator guesses your roof's surface area from your home's size. It divides living space by the number of stories to get a footprint, then adds about 12% for a walkable pitch or 30% for a steep one, plus 10% for overhangs. That area is multiplied by a per-square-foot rate.
The rates come from the cost rows on our cost guide. Shingles run $4.60 to $6.50 per sq ft, starting from This Old House's 2026 Kentucky asphalt figure of about $4.67 and leaving room for architectural shingles. Metal runs $8.75 to $11.00, starting from the same source's $8.75 and allowing for standing seam and tear-off, which HomeYou (2026) puts at about $3 to $5 per sq ft.
