How does the Roof Shingles Calculator work?

Measure the footprint area of the roof from below (length × width of house) Then: Apply pitch multiplier: 4/12 pitch = ×1.054, 6/12 = ×1.118, 8/12 = ×1.202 Then: Add 10–15% waste allowance for valleys, hips, and ridges Then: 1 square = 100 sq ft; most shingle bundles cover 33 sq ft → 3 bundles per square.

Can you give an example of how to use the Roof Shingles Calculator?

Example: Input Footprint 1,200 sq ft · 6/12 pitch · 10% waste gives a result of 15 squares (45 bundles) (1200×1.118×1.1÷100=14.75 squares).
