How to use the roof cost calculator

Enter your roof area in square feet and pick a material. The calculator multiplies your area by the typical 2026 installed price per square foot for that material. Remember your roof is bigger than your home’s floor plan because it is sloped — a 2,000 sq ft home often has 2,200–2,800 sq ft of roof.

Cost ranges reflect 2026 U.S. installed prices (BLS producer/labor data, Remodeling Cost vs. Value, and manufacturer pricing). Your real price depends on your roof, region, and pro — see the full cost guide.
