ABOUT THIS TOOL

When to use a stair calculator

Size a simple straight stair using rise, riser height, tread depth and stringer geometry.

All assumptions are visible and adjustable. Check rates and underlying data against original sources before making a decision.

HOW IT WORKS

The calculation

Riser count = ceil(total rise / target max riser); each riser = total rise / riser count; tread count = risers − 1 for an upper landing; stringer ≈ hypot(total rise, horizontal run).

Know the limitations

Generic straight-flight sizing only. Verify local building codes and account for nosing, finish thickness and landings.

Results are estimates derived from your inputs.
