The calculator takes your home's living space and divides it by the number of stories to estimate the footprint. It then multiplies by a slope factor, 1.12 for a roof you could walk on or 1.30 for a steep one, and by 1.10 to allow for overhangs. That roof area times a per-square-foot rate gives a low and a high figure.
Before you start: the rates lean on the published cost rows below, nudged upward for coastal work. Shingles run $4.75 to $7.00 per square foot, from architectural shingles up to high-wind and FORTIFIED-style installs. Metal runs $8.00 to $13.00, from exposed-fastener panels up to coated standing seam built for salt air.

Using What You Learned
Compare your range, line by line, with the written estimate a roofer gives you. If the two are far apart, ask why: rotten decking, a steeper pitch or a premium metal can explain a lot. The cost guide covers what moves the price, and the repair-or-replace quiz helps if you're not yet sure a new roof is needed.
