The Math / Science

The roofing shingle cost equation provides an estimate of materials cost for shingles on a roof based on the roof's area and on the price of shingles.  To calculate the area, the user enters the length and width dimensions of the area covered (see diagram) and the pitch.  vCalc uses these dimensions to calculate the are covered. Note: vCalc provides automatic conversions of the input lengths into numerous units.  Any unit price must be for 33.33 ft² of shingles which is a standard bundle. 

This is only an estimate, and may vary based on the price of shingles that you purchase. Furthermore, it does not include the cost of ridge shingles, under cover (tar paper or felt), or other materials such as flashing, nails and glues.
