Stair calculator

Split a total rise into equal risers and check them against common NCC limits for houses.

Your measurements

How it's worked out

Risers = total rise ÷ preferred riser, rounded, then adjusted to stay between 115 and 190 mm. Checks: going 240–355 mm and 2R + G between 550 and 700 mm (NCC guidance for Class 1 and 10 buildings).

Estimates only. Check sizes, coverage and quantities with your supplier, engineer or certifier before ordering. Standards references are a guide, not compliance advice.
