Soffit Installation Cost Calculator
Calculate soffit installation or replacement cost based on eave perimeter, soffit width, material type, and whether fascia is included.
Project Details
Total linear feet of eaves around your home
Width of the soffit overhang — typically 12 to 24 inches
Fascia is the vertical board along the roof edge; often replaced alongside soffit

Notes
- • Estimated 160 sq ft of soffit (160 linear ft × 12" wide).
- • Aluminum soffit is low-maintenance and resists moisture, insects, and rot.
- • Consider adding fascia if it shows signs of rot or peeling paint.
- • Vented soffit panels are recommended for proper attic ventilation.
About the Soffit Cost Calculator
Soffit covers the underside of your roof overhang and plays a critical role in attic ventilation and protecting your roof structure from moisture and pests. Whether you're replacing damaged soffit or installing new panels, our calculator estimates total cost based on your eave perimeter, overhang width, material choice, and whether you're also replacing the fascia board.
How We Calculate Soffit Cost
We calculate the total soffit area by multiplying your eave perimeter by the overhang width (converted from inches to feet). Material costs are applied per square foot based on your chosen material type (aluminum, vinyl, or wood). Labor includes installation, trim/J-channel work, and removal of old soffit. If fascia is included, we add per-linear-foot material and labor costs for fascia board replacement.
Factors That Affect Soffit Cost
Key factors affecting soffit cost include: material choice (vinyl is cheapest, wood most expensive), total linear footage and overhang width, home height (multi-story homes increase labor costs), whether fascia is replaced simultaneously, local labor rates, and whether vented or solid panels are used.
Soffit Cost by Eave Perimeter
| Eave Perimeter | Low | Average | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 linear ft | $680 | $1,200 | $1,960 |
| 120 linear ft | $1,020 | $1,800 | $2,940 |
| 160 linear ft | $1,360 | $2,400 | $3,920 |
| 240 linear ft | $2,040 | $3,600 | $5,880 |
| 320 linear ft | $2,720 | $4,800 | $7,840 |
| 480 linear ft | $4,080 | $7,200 | $11,760 |
