How the calculation works

Shingle Calculator

round up(Area × (1 + Waste allowance / 100) ÷ Area per package)

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
20 m²
Area per package
3.1 m²
Waste allowance
