Shingle Bundles Calculator

Calculate how many bundles of asphalt shingles to order from roof square footage, waste, and the manufacturer’s bundles-per-square coverage.

Quick answer

Shingle bundles quick answer

Answer: Shingle bundle quantity depends on roof squares and the number of bundles required per square for the specific shingle product.

Formula: Bundles needed = roofing squares × bundles per square, rounded up as needed.

Example: At three bundles per square, 22 roofing squares require about 66 bundles before any additional product-specific allowance.
