Calculateur de Stair Rise & Run
Calculate the number of steps and rise/run dimensions for a staircase given total height.
Formula and method
This calculator computes Number of steps, Actual riser height directly in your browser without sending data to an external server.
Mathematical formula
- Number of steps:
Math.max(1,Math.round(totalRiseIn ÷ targetRiserIn)) - Actual riser height:
totalRiseIn ÷ Math.max(1,Math.round(totalRiseIn ÷ targetRiserIn))
Variables and parameters
- Total rise (totalRiseIn): default value 108 in.
- Target riser height (targetRiserIn): 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.
