Stair Slope Calculator

What is a Stair Slope Calculator?

A stair slope calculator is a tool used to determine the slope or pitch of a set of stairs.

It helps builders and designers ensure that stairs are safe and compliant with building codes.

Why is a Stair Slope Calculator Used?

This calculator is used in construction and architectural design to ensure that the slope of stairs adheres to safety standards and provides comfortable ascent and descent.

How to Use a Stair Slope Calculator:

1. Input the stair rise (vertical height of each step) in inches or centimeters.
2. Enter the stair run (horizontal depth of each step) in inches or centimeters.
3. Click the "Calculate" button.
4. The calculator will provide the slope of the stairs in degrees and as a ratio.

Example Calculation:

Suppose you have a staircase with a rise of 7 inches and a run of 10 inches for each step.

Enter 7 as the stair rise and 10 as the stair run.

Click "Calculate," and the calculator will estimate that the slope of the stairs is approximately 34.99 degrees or 7:10.
