Introduction
When planning a new metal roof installation, one of the crucial factors to consider is the cost involved. To help you estimate the expenses, we’ve created a New Metal Roof Cost Calculator. This tool will provide you with an approximate cost for your roofing project, taking into account the roof size and the type of material you choose.

The cost is calculated by multiplying the roof size (in square feet) by the cost per square foot of the selected roofing material. The formula is straightforward:
Cost = Roof Size (sq. ft) * Cost per sq. ft

- Select the type of roofing material from the dropdown menu.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get an estimated cost.
Example
Let’s say you have a roof size of 1,500 square feet, and you choose a metal roof. After entering the details into the calculator, the estimated cost will be displayed.
