The Stair Calculator calculates the number of steps, rise, and run needed for a staircase. This Stair Calculator estimates the materials or values you need for common home projects. Always add a waste margin to material estimates before placing an order.

The formula behind this calculator: Number of steps = total rise / desired riser height, with run based on standard tread depth. As a practical example: A total rise of 108 inches with 7.2-inch risers requires 15 steps. All results are calculated instantly in your browser — no data is stored or transmitted.
