Number of step rises

Geometry sketch only, no be building-code check. Headroom, landings, guards and local accessibility rules no dey included.

Formula

Use N = ceil(H/r) and T = N−1. H na total rise and r na di preferred maximum riser height for di same unit. ceil dey round up; T na treads before di upper landing. Actual riser height na H/N.

Divide total rise into equal step heights under maximum height wey you enter.

We check inputs for missing values and allowed ranges. Result wey pass the finite numeric range no go show. Rounding affect wetin display, while calculation use the model numeric precision.

Check your units and assumptions before you rely on result. Changing label no convert currency or physical unit.
