This calculator vs. AccuLynx
Two different shapes: AccuLynx is an account-based platform for running a roofing company's whole sales-to-production pipeline. This page is a free, private, no-account worksheet for one number — whether the price for one reroof, priced correctly by squares and pitch, actually clears your cost and margin.
What each tool is for
AccuLynx is a cloud-based business management platform built specifically for roofing contractors — it is not a generic construction or field-service tool. It is built around running a roofing company's whole pipeline in one account: lead capture and CRM, aerial roof measurement, estimating and proposal generation, material ordering with supplier integrations, production and crew scheduling, and job costing, used by a sales team, a production manager, and office staff together across every job the company runs, on an ongoing subscription. AccuLynx's own site is not reachable from this session to confirm today's specific feature list, plan names, or pricing, so only its well-documented identity and category are stated here: nothing about it is invented, and no dollar figure for it appears on this page.
This calculator does none of that. It does not track a lead, order material, schedule a crew, or hold a record across jobs. It takes one reroof — each section's footprint and pitch converted to actual roof squares, waste, how many layers are being torn off, a material preset, loaded labor, dump and permit, overhead, and the margin you intend to keep — and turns that into the job price, the price per square, the effective hourly rate, and the walk-away number below which the job loses money, plus a printable customer proposal with a deposit split and a price-held date. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| I need to track leads, schedule crews, order material, and run job costing across every roof my company sells. | AccuLynx, or a comparable roofing business platform — running the whole pipeline is not something this calculator does. |
| Does the price for this one reroof actually clear my cost and target margin, once pitch, waste, tear-off layers, and overhead are counted correctly? | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| What is the actual roof surface for a section, given its footprint and pitch — not the house's square footage? | This calculator's own squares-by-pitch walkthrough. |
| I need my whole sales team working the same leads and proposals from one shared account. | AccuLynx — built as an ongoing, account-based platform for exactly that job. |
| Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the tool? | This calculator: no. AccuLynx's tools are used through a paid account. |
Most roofing contractors get different value from each: AccuLynx (or a comparable platform) for running the company's whole sales-to-production pipeline as an ongoing account, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login check on whether one reroof's price actually clears cost and margin before the bid goes out. This page's own figures are a pricing model, not a project record, a material order, or a structural determination.
This tool needs no account and no sign-in: it is a static page, the arithmetic runs in your browser, and once it has loaded it keeps working with the connection off.
Common questions
Should I use this calculator or AccuLynx?
They do different jobs. AccuLynx is a roofing-only business management platform used by residential and commercial roofing contractors to run a company's whole sales-to-production pipeline: lead and CRM tracking, aerial measurement and estimating, proposal generation, material ordering, production and crew scheduling, and job costing, all tied to one account used on an ongoing basis across every job the company runs. This calculator does none of that. It takes one reroof's section footprints, pitch, waste, tear-off layers, material, loaded labor, dump, overhead, and target margin, and turns that into a price per square, an effective hourly rate, and a walk-away price below which the job loses money, plus a printable customer proposal, instantly, in the browser, with no account and nothing uploaded. A roofing company running leads, crews, and material orders across many jobs at once is better served by AccuLynx or a comparable platform; a contractor who wants an instant, private, correctly-pitched price for one roof before a bid goes out is in the right place here.
