ENGINEERING REFERENCE / CALCULATED ROOF RUNOFF

Translate rainfall
into water volume.

Estimate the water falling on a horizontal roof area. This calculation assumes 100% runoff; it does not measure gutter-guard throughput or certify an installed system’s capacity.

23,688calculated gallons/hour
394.8calculated gallons/minute

1,000 sq. ft. × 38 inches/hour · assuming 100% runoff.

Calculation: area × rainfall ÷ 12 × 7.48052 US gallons per cubic foot. Roof area, roof geometry, gutter configuration, outlets and installation conditions matter to the complete drainage system.
