Whole-roof area with waste · base 5,125 sq ft
| Waste allowance | 0% | Comparison, not a recommendation10% | 12% | 15% | 20% | 25% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total area (sq ft) | 5,125.48 | 5,638.03 | 5,740.54 | 5,894.30 | 6,150.58 | 6,406.85 |

| Squares | 51.25 | 56.38 | 57.41 | 58.94 | 61.51 | 64.07 |
Total = the source’s whole-building estimate × (1 + waste). Policy source-waste-v1: full precision throughout, rounded for display only. No whole-square or bundle rounding.
Facing (modeled segments)
| Faces | Segments | Area (sq ft) | Share |

Columns give roofing squares at each waste allowance.
Sloped area = plan footprint × √(1 + (rise ÷ 12)²); squares = sloped area × (1 + waste) ÷ 100.
A pitch scenario is not evidence of the actual roof. Complex roofs need per-facet pitch, which a measured Roof Report supplies.
