Staircase Slope Calculator

What is a Staircase Slope Calculator?

A staircase slope calculator is a tool used to determine the slope or angle of a staircase based on the rise (vertical height) and run (horizontal depth) of the stairs.

It is useful for planning and designing staircases.

Why is a Staircase Slope Calculator Used?

This calculator is used to ensure that a staircase complies with safety and building code standards and that it is comfortable and convenient for users.

It also helps with design and planning.

How to Use a Staircase Slope Calculator:

1. Input the stair rise, which is the vertical height between two consecutive steps, in inches or centimeters.
2. Enter the stair run, which is the horizontal depth of a step, in inches or centimeters.
3. Click the "Calculate" button.
4. The calculator will provide an estimate of the slope or angle of the staircase in degrees.

Example Calculation:

Suppose you have a staircase with a rise of 7.5 inches and a run of 10 inches.

Enter 7.5 as the stair rise and 10 as the stair run in the calculator.

Click "Calculate," and it will estimate that the slope or angle of the staircase is approximately 36.79 degrees.
