Roof Pitch Calculator
Calculate roof pitch, slope, angle, rise, and run for construction.
About Roof Pitch Calculator
Built with builders, roofers and home owners in mind, the Roof Pitch Calculator keeps every input and every result on one clean page. Compute the roof pitch as a ratio, an angle in degrees and a percentage from the rise and the run, which is how roofs are specified for material and drainage. Indian roofs range from flat to sloped, and the pitch decides the tile or sheet type, the water drainage and the material quantity, and the tool gives all three forms at once. The tool also computes the rafter length from the rise and run, which is needed for the timber order. Because it is a pure local calc, nothing is uploaded. It is the pitch check that a tile or sheet order always needs. Estimates are framed the way Indian contractors and material suppliers actually quote, so you can compare numbers directly with the local rate card. Common scenarios include checking a roof pitch for tiling, finding the rafter length for a frame, and converting rise and run to degrees. Bookmark it once and it is ready whenever the need comes up again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is roof pitch?
Roof pitch is the steepness of a roof expressed as inches of vertical rise per 12 inches of horizontal run (e.g., 6/12 pitch means 6 inches rise per 12 inches run).
What is a common roof pitch?
Common residential roof pitches range from 4/12 (18.4 degrees) to 8/12 (33.7 degrees). Low slope roofs are 2/12 to 4/12, while steep roofs are 9/12 and above.
How to measure roof pitch?
Measure vertical rise over 12 inches of horizontal run using a level and measuring tape. Alternatively, use an angle finder for direct degree measurement.
What is a roof pitch?
The slope expressed as rise over run, like 4 in 12, which the tool converts to degrees and percentage.
How is rafter length found?
As the hypotenuse of the rise and run, which the tool computes from the two inputs.
