Formula

Pitch = rise:run. Angle = arctan(rise ÷ run). Slope factor = √(1 + (rise ÷ run)^2).

Pitch = rise:run. Angle = arctan(rise ÷ run). Slope factor = √(1 + (rise ÷ run)^2).

How it works

1

Enter rise and run.

2

The calculator reduces the pitch ratio conceptually and calculates angle.

3

Review pitch, degrees and slope factor.

Important notes

Roof pitch is commonly expressed as rise over 12 inches of run.
