Enter your span length, truss type, and load into the calculator to determine your truss cost.
Truss Cost Calculation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the cost of building your own trusses.
Truss Cost = Base Cost + (Span * Load * 0.1)
Variables:
- Truss Cost is the total cost of building the truss ($)
- Base Cost is the starting cost based on truss type ($)
- Span is the length of the truss (ft)
- Load is the load the truss will carry (lbs/sq ft)
To calculate the truss cost, add the base cost to the product of span, load, and 0.1.
What is Truss Cost Calculation?
Truss cost calculation involves determining the total cost of building a truss by considering the span length, type of truss, and the load it will carry. Accurate calculation helps in budgeting and planning for construction projects, ensuring you do not overspend and that the truss will
