Roof Replacement Cost Calculator
Use this calculator to build a planning estimate for asphalt, metal, or premium roof replacements. Adjust for roof size and location, then compare the result with local written bids.

Enter your project details and calculate to see a planning estimate.
This is a planning estimate, not a contractor quote. Actual costs vary by location, home condition, material availability, permits, and project complexity.
Planning rates for cost year 2026 (national baselines × state regional factors). Not a contractor quote.
Main cost factors
Roof size
Material and labor scale with squares of roofing; larger or cut-up roofs cost more per job.
Material system
Architectural asphalt is the common baseline; metal and tile increase both material and specialty labor.
Regional labor rates
Coastal and high-cost metros often price above the national typical range for the same scope.
Cost table
| Item | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle replacement | $8,000 | $14,000 | $22,000 |
| Metal roof replacement | $14,000 | $22,000 | $35,000 |
| Tile or slate replacement | $18,000 | $30,000 | $50,000 |
National average explanation
Nationally, most asphalt replacements land between $8,000 and $25,000 in 2026 for a typical single-family home. Your calculator result applies a regional multiplier and material assumptions on top of that baseline.

Methodology & estimate disclaimer
Production model: roof area × material rate × regional × pitch × complexity, plus removal, skylights, and permit allowance.
Actual costs vary by location, home condition, material availability, permits, and project complexity. Read our methodology, the national cost bands table, editorial policy, and disclaimer. Planning provenance uses internal model notes (not invented third-party citations)—see the bands page for published low/typical/high frames.
