How to use the Roofing Shingles calculator

This assumes a simple gable or hip roof where every plane has the same pitch. Add extra for valleys, dormers and ridge caps.

Formula

Roof area = footprint × pitch multiplier; one roofing square = 100 sq ft; standard architectural shingles come 3 bundles per square.
