How these estimates work
Estimates start from published Australia installed-price ranges, which describe Australia overall. Labour is about 60% of a re-roof, so each state's range is multiplied by 0.4 + 0.6 × (local average full-time weekly earnings ÷ the Australia figure). Totals are rounded to the nearest 100. Prices are AUD, including GST. They are estimates for budgeting, not quotes: tear-off layers, decking repairs, access, permits and roof complexity can move a real quote well outside the range.
