A Shingle Bundle Calculator is a web-based tool used to estimate the number of shingle bundles required for roofing a building.

It takes into account the roof area, the type of shingles (e.g., 3-Tab or Architectural), and the roof pitch to provide an accurate estimate of the bundles needed for a roofing project.
