Roof Pitch Calculator
Calculate roof pitch, roof angle, slope percentage, and roof factor using rise and run measurements.
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°.
