Enter the total rise, run, and tread depth into the calculator to determine the number of stairs required.
Stair Calculation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the number of stairs required based on the total rise and tread depth.
Number of Stairs = Total Rise / Tread Depth
Variables:
- Total Rise is the vertical distance to be covered (inches)
- Tread Depth is the horizontal depth of each stair (inches)
To calculate the number of stairs, divide the total rise by the tread depth.
What is Stair Calculation?
Stair calculation refers to the process of determining the number of stairs required to cover a given vertical distance. This involves understanding the total rise, run, and tread depth. Proper stair calculation ensures safe and comfortable stairs.
How to Calculate Stairs?
The following steps outline how to calculate the number of stairs using the given formula.
- First, determine your total rise.
- Next, determine the tread depth.
- Use the formula from above: Number of Stairs = Total Rise / Tread Depth.
- Finally, calculate the number of stairs by plugging in the values.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
