What you need to measure

Calculate roof area

Measure the horizontal building dimensions. The pitch converts this projection into the actual covering area.

Projected area = (10 + 2 × 0.3) × (6 + 2 × 0.3) = 69.96 m²

Actual area = 69.96 ÷ cos(35°) = 85.41 m²

Area with allowance = 85.41 × (1 + 10 %) = 93.95 m²

Uncheck to exclude labour entirely from the calculation and saved result.

This geometric estimate does not validate the roof structure, covering type or regulatory requirements for pitch and climate zone.

What you get

Calculate the true area of a pitched roof and estimate the number of tiles.

How to use it

Enter only the requested values and check the unit shown beside each field. The main result gives the figure to use first. Details explain conversions, secondary quantities and rounding. Change any value to compare another situation without starting again.

Before using the result

Measure the finished area and use the coverage or pack size stated on the product you will buy. An allowance helps cover cuts and waste, but does not replace the manufacturer’s instructions.
