How many squares of roof shingles do you need for a 600 ft roof?

When talking about the area of a roof, remember that it is not the same as the square footage of the structure. For example a 20 x 30' building with a 12" overhang and a 4/12 pitch will have 736 sq ft of roof vs only 600 sq ft of slab.
One square of shingles covers 100 square feet. 15 year shingles come 3 bundles to a square. 25 year come 4 bundles to a square.

Starter shingles go around the perimeter of the roof as a bottom layer for the first course of shingles. Hip and ridge shingles go, as you might expect, on the hips and ridges. In order to know for sure the exact quantity you would need for the entire roofing job you have to measure all of these areas.
