Metal Weight & Cost Calculator

Know what your metal will weigh, how much stock you need, and what the material will cost—before you buy, cut, load, or commit. Metal Weight & Cost Calculator turns dimensions into live, traceable material totals. Pick a profile, enter dimensions in the units you already use, and move from a rough measurement to a job-ready estimate in seconds. FROM DIMENSIONS TO A DECISION • Calculate total weight or solve backward for required length • Work in metric or imperial units, decimals or shop fractions • See mass per length, surface area, quantity, allowance, and material cost • Use steel, aluminum, stainless, copper, brass, and other built-in materials • Enter a one-off custom density when the exact grade is not listed • Choose from 15 common profiles: sheet, plate, bar, tube, angle, channel, tee, I/H section, rebar, and more FROM LOOSE NUMBERS TO A COMPLETE JOB Save unlimited calculations. Group unlimited items into projects. Keep the customer, job reference, dimensions, material, quantity, allowance, pricing assumptions, notes, and totals together—so the number you calculated is still understandable when you return. The app does not limit the number of projects or project items you can store. Each PDF or CSV export supports one project with up to 2,000 items. Free PDF exports include a visible PREVIEW watermark. Workshop Pro unlocks clean, watermark-free PDFs and editable CSV exports; the same 2,000-item limit applies to both formats. Estimates cover material only and keep mass, cost, and assumptions clear. FREE FOR REAL WORK • Unlimited calculations and saved results • Unlimited projects and project items • Weight and required-length solving • Manual price, allowance, quantity, and surface area • Text sharing and complete watermarked Project Estimate PDFs • No ads, no account, and no tracking WORKSHOP PRO — ONE PURCHASE, FOREVER Upgrade only when the professional output earns it. One lifetime purchase unlocks: • Clean customer-ready Project Estimate PDFs • Editable, spreadsheet-safe CSV export • Project duplication for repeat jobs and templates • Reusable supplier price books • Reusable custom materials and densities • Coating quantity and cost estimates No subscription. Your existing work stays readable even if Pro is no longer available. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your calculations, projects, prices, materials, and business details stay on your device. There is no SynapseCore account, advertising SDK, or behavioral analytics SDK. Export happens only when you choose a destination in Apple’s share interface. Metal Weight & Cost Calculator is an estimating tool. Results are nominal material estimates, not certified engineering values. Verify the material grade, mill tolerances, coatings, corner radii, published section data, and certificates before procurement or safety-critical use.
