How to Use the Roof Pitch Calculator

Enter the vertical rise and horizontal run of the roof. The calculator uses these measurements to determine the roof pitch and angle.

Roof Pitch Formula

Roof Pitch = Rise ÷ Run

Roof pitch is commonly expressed as the amount of rise for every 12 inches of horizontal run. For example, a roof that rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of run has a 6:12 pitch.

Example

If a roof rises 6 inches over a 12-inch run, the roof pitch is 6:12, the slope is 50%, and the roof angle is approximately 26.57°.
