Riser Height Calculator
Your measurements : vertical rise, number of risers. Your estimate : riser height.
How the calculation works
Riser Height Calculator
Vertical rise / Number of risersBefore you order
- A straight flight is assumed. The upper floor is the final landing, so there is one fewer tread than riser. No headroom, landing, handrail or local code validation is included.
- Planning estimate only. This is not a structural design, a safety approval or a local code check.
Worked example
- Vertical rise
- 2.8 m
- Number of risers
- 16
Riser height 0.18 m
