Metal Roof Cost Calculator
Estimate the installed cost of a metal roof by type, then see how it compares to asphalt shingles over a 50-year window once you count the replacements asphalt needs in that time.
Metal costs more up front than asphalt but lasts decades longer, so the fair comparison is total cost over the life of the house, not the first invoice. Pick the metal type and pitch, and the calculator handles the waste factor that steeper roofs add.
| Materials | |

| Waste factor applied | |
| Metal cost over 50 years | |
| Asphalt cost over 50 years |
Estimate only. The 50-year comparison counts asphalt replacements over that span and excludes inflation and repair costs. Get local quotes before deciding.
