How the total is calculated
- Quantity × unit price is rounded per line.
- Height, difficulty, and waste factors are multiplied and applied to each rounded line.
- Install and takedown labor are added.
- Markup is calculated on the service subtotal.
- Tax is calculated on subtotal plus markup.
- The deposit is calculated from the final total.
Use local rules. Some jurisdictions tax materials and services differently. Confirm the taxable base and rate with a qualified local adviser.
What this calculator does not do
It does not read photos, measure a roof, recommend prevailing prices, create invoices, accept payments, or schedule crews. Its result is only as reliable as the measurements and rates you enter.
