Roofing unit converter

Every roofing conversion in one place. Pick a category, choose your from and to units, and enter a value. Conversions are grouped by what they measure — area, length, pitch, shingles, underlayment, and edge accessories — so every pairing is real.

Why conversions are grouped

Roofing units measure different things, and not every unit converts into every other. A pitch in degrees has no meaningful conversion to bundles of shingles, and bundle counts depend on whether the shingle is 3-tab (3 per square) or architectural (4 per square). Grouping by category keeps every result honest instead of letting you pick a pairing that produces a fabricated number. The material and accessory figures — 33.3 sq ft per bundle, 120.33 linear feet per starter bundle, 25 per ridge bundle, 10 ft per drip-edge stick, roll coverages — are the same sourced constants the full calculator uses; see the methodology.
