Calculate Total Trusses Cost







Formula

To calculate the total trusses cost:

\[ TTC = T \times CPT + LC \times H \]

What is the Average Cost of a Truss?

The average cost of a truss will depend on the size, style, and material used. The average cost can range anywhere from $1.5 per square foot to $6 per square foot[^1^][^2^]. There are many different materials to use when installing a new roof truss system in your home.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Step 1: Multiply the number of trusses by the cost per truss:

\[ T \times CPT = 10 \times 200 = 2000 \]

Step 2: Multiply the labor cost per hour by the total number of hours:

\[ LC \times H = 50 \times 8 = 400 \]

Step 3: Add the two results to get the total trusses cost:

\[ TTC = 2000 + 400 = 2400 \]

The total trusses cost is $2400.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Step 1: Multiply the number of trusses by the cost per truss:

\[ T \times CPT = 5 \times 150 = 750 \]

Step 2: Multiply the labor cost per hour by the total number of hours:

\[ LC \times H = 40 \times 6 = 240 \]

Step 3: Add the two results to get the total trusses cost:

\[ TTC = 750 + 240 = 990 \]

The total trusses cost is $990.
