Calculateur de Stair
Estimate stair count from total rise and target riser height.
Formula and method
This calculator computes Number of risers, Actual riser height directly in your browser without sending data to an external server.
Mathematical formula
- Number of risers:
Math.ceil(rise ÷ riser) - Actual riser height:
rise ÷ Math.ceil(rise ÷ riser)
Variables and parameters
- Total rise (rise): default value 108 in.
- Target riser (riser): default value 7.5 in.
Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations (such as division by zero or logarithms of non-positive numbers). In those cases the live tool displays an alert instead of NaN.
