Before you start, here is the method. Your living space divided by the number of stories gives a footprint. Extra is added for pitch and for the overhang at the eaves, which gives a rough roof area. That area is multiplied by a per-square-foot rate for your material.
The rates lean on these figures. Sources differ because they assume different roof sizes, materials and tear-off, so the tool uses a span.
