Stair calculator

Total rise → riser count, treads, total run, stringer length, and angle — flagged against the common residential reference.

Riser count is chosen so the actual riser never exceeds 7¾ in, targeting about 7 in. The top step is the landing itself, so treads = risers − 1.

How to use

  1. Enter the floor-to-floor rise and tread depth (mm or inches).
  2. Calculate.
  3. Read risers, run, stringer, angle, and the reference check.

What it supports

Riser count is chosen so each riser stays ≤ 7¾ in, targeting ~7 in; treads = risers − 1 (the top is the landing). Rise 100–10,000 mm. Reference check only — local building codes differ and this is not a compliance verdict.
