How to use this tool
- Enter total rise, number of risers.
- Select Calculate to view the result.
- Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.
Input reference and sample values
Use the units and choices shown for each field. Sample values are provided for practice, not as recommendations.
| Input | Format and units | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| Total rise | Numeric value. Unit: mm. Must be greater than zero. | 2800 |
| Number of risers | Whole numbers only. Minimum: 1. Maximum: 1000. | 16 |
Result for these sample inputs
175 mm
Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.
The method, explained
Riser height = total rise/number of risers.
Using total rise = 2800 mm, number of risers = 16, the result is 175 mm. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
What to keep in mind
Check local stair requirements; this does not certify a compliant staircase. A material-quantity estimate, not a structural design or building-code check. Confirm site measurements, supplier coverage and waste before ordering.
