Am wondering if theres a formula I can use to figure out how many packages of shingles I will need. I have heard something about squares is how you figure it out not sure if theres a formula or a way to figure out how many packages needed.

   The bag of shingle will cover then decide upon type and amount of square footage approx you will cover is calculated and amount of the amount of the type of singles per bag of shingle will need.
   The amount of square footage approx you want therefore how much you want to cover then.
