It's simple to calculate the amount of trusses needed for your roof with our online calculator. Once you know the length of your roof and on-center spacing of the trusses you're good to go!
We also have a rafter length calculator if you're looking for more truss dimensions.
Calculate Truss Amount & Costs
How to Use
- Measurement Units: Choose either meters or feet.
- Roof Length: the length of the roof for which you are calculating the truss count.
- On-Center Spacing: the center-to-center distance between trusses. The default value is 60 cm.
- Price per Truss (optional): estimate the total cost of the trusses.
- Calculate: Press the "Calculate" button to see how many trusses you will need and the total estimated cost for your project.
Note: This calculator assumes a simple gable roof for the purpose of these calculations.
