Roofing Squares Calculator

Area × (1 + Waste allowance / 100) ÷ 9.290304 m²; 100 ft² = 9.290304 m²

Before you order

  • A simple roof with one uniform pitch is assumed. Length and width are horizontal plan dimensions; overhang is horizontal on every side. Valleys, hips, dormers and overlaps need separate allowances.
  • Planning estimate only. This is not a structural design, a safety approval or a local code check.

Worked example

Area
