Total installed cost $22,980
Cost per square $883.85
Cost per year of life $459.60
Asphalt equivalent over the same period $31,890 At 20-year replacements
A metal roof of this size runs about $22,980, $883.85 per square, or $459.60 per year of expected life against $31,890 of repeated asphalt over the same period.

The asphalt comparison assumes replacement every 20 years at a mid-range installed price, and ignores inflation and the time value of money. It illustrates the trade rather than proving it.

Questions

About this calculator

Is a metal roof worth the extra cost?

Over a long enough horizon it often is, especially if you will own the property for decades. Over five to ten years it usually is not, purely on cost.

What is the difference between standing seam and corrugated?

Standing seam hides its fasteners under the seam, lasts longer and costs considerably more. Exposed-fastener corrugated is cheaper but the gaskets need attention over time.
