Figuring a roof's slope before you order materials saves money and second trips, and a roof pitch chart turns those rise-over-run numbers into a quick reference. This collection of 33 charts helps roofers, builders, and DIY homeowners convert pitch to angle and estimate shingle coverage without redoing the math each time.
Every chart comes as a print-ready PDF, so there's nothing to install. Print one for the truck, tuck a copy in the job folder, or tape it inside the garage for weekend projects. Download the chart that matches your work and keep it handy whenever a new slope question comes up.

What is a roof pitch chart and how do you read it?
A roof pitch chart converts a roof's rise-over-run ratio into an angle and related measurements. You read it by finding your pitch, such as six over twelve, then checking the matching degree angle and multipliers used to estimate rafter length and material coverage quickly.
How is roof pitch measured and expressed?
Roof pitch is the vertical rise over a twelve-inch horizontal run, written like four over twelve or six over twelve. A higher first number means a steeper roof. You can measure it with a level and tape, then use a chart to convert the ratio to degrees.
Why does roof pitch matter when estimating materials?
Pitch affects how much surface area a roof actually has, so a steeper roof needs more shingles than its footprint suggests. A roof pitch chart provides multipliers to adjust for slope, helping roofers and DIY homeowners order the right amount of material and avoid costly second trips.
