How it works

  1. Choose a single slope or symmetric gable.

  2. Enter dimensions, overhangs and pitch as a percentage.

  3. Use the manufacturer's effective tile coverage and add a waste allowance.

Frequently asked questions

How is sloped area calculated?

The horizontal area, including overhangs, is multiplied by the square root of one plus the square of the rise-to-run ratio.

How do I estimate a roof with multiple sections?

Calculate each rectangle separately. Check intersections and cutouts on the drawing to avoid counting the same area twice.
