Before you start. The tool can't see your roof, so it works from the house. It divides your home's living area by the number of stories to get a footprint, adds 12% for a walkable pitch or 30% for a steep one, then adds another 10% for the overhangs. That roof area is multiplied by a per-square-foot rate built from the five cost rows below.
Shingle jobs are priced at $4.15 to $7.60 per square foot, from 3-tab and architectural shingles up to impact-rated ones. Metal is priced at $7.40 to $13.25, from exposed-fastener panels up to standing seam. Both include tearing off the old roof.

Using What You Learned
A range is where the conversation starts, not where it ends. Compare it with the sourced figures in the roof replacement cost guide, and if you're still unsure the roof needs replacing at all, try the repair-or-replace quiz.
Timing can matter as much as price. In one of the city's historic districts, a switch to metal or to a different shingle shape needs historic-preservation staff review before work starts, so build that into your schedule.
When you want a real number, send a request. It goes to one independent local roofer, who can measure the roof and give you a written estimate. This site is free to use; a roofer may pay for the introduction, and you never do.
