Roofing Squares Calculator

Convert a known roof area between square feet, square meters, and roofing squares using the standard 100-square-foot definition.

Project measurements

One roofing square equals exactly 100 square feet. This tool converts a known area without adding pitch or waste.

How to use this calculator

  1. Select the unit of the known roof area.
  2. Enter the area.
  3. Calculate equivalent square feet, square meters, and roofing squares.

How the calculation works

A roofing square is an area unit equal to exactly 100 square feet. The calculator first converts the entered value to square feet, then derives the other units.

Formula

1 roofing square = 100 square feet
Roofing squares = square feet ÷ 100
Square meters = square feet × 0.09290304

Worked example

A roof area of 2,500 square feet equals 25 roofing squares and approximately 232.26 square meters.

Project considerations

  • This calculator converts a known area only.
  • It does not calculate pitch, waste, or product quantity.
  • Use the Roofing Calculator when the surface area still needs to be derived from dimensions.
