Estimate the installed cost of a metal roof.

The math behind it

cost = roof area × (1 + waste) × cost per ft². Installed metal roofing often runs ~$7–$14/ft².

1,800 ft² + 10% at $10 → $19,800.

Roof area vs footprint?

Use the actual sloped roof area (use the Roofing calculator from footprint + pitch).
