The math is kept simple on purpose. Your living space is divided by the number of stories to estimate the footprint, then raised to allow for roof pitch and for the eaves that hang past the walls. That gives a rough roof area, which is multiplied by a low and a high price per square foot.
Those prices lean on the Nebraska figures below. Shingles run about $4.75 to $8.25 per square foot, stretching from a plain architectural job up to Class 4 impact-resistant work. Metal runs about $8.00 to $14.00, from exposed-fastener steel up to standing seam. The sources don't line up perfectly, because each one assumes a different roof size, material and amount of tear-off.
