The 50-year view counts the initial installation and the replacement cycles entered above. These are planning estimates; a final roof quote may use a different service-life assumption.
How to read the results
The figures are fixed comparison inputs, so you can see how the calculator arrives at each total. They are not live supplier pricing or a quote for a specific roof.
This tool treats 100 sq ft as one roofing square. For example, 5,000 sq ft is 50 squares in the calculator.
The number of squares is multiplied by the price-per-square figure shown on each card. That gives the comparison amount before project-specific costs.
The first-install amount is multiplied by the installation count shown on the card. Counts follow its displayed replacement schedule; they are calculator assumptions, not a forecast of actual service life. The QUEENTILE card's 50-year warranty is a coverage term, not a service-life estimate.
For pricing based on your roof rather than these comparison inputs, use “Get an exact estimate.”
