Stair & Tread Calculator

Measure floor to floor and this works out the whole stair - risers, treads, the run it needs, and the parts for the system you choose.

How to use it

Enter the total rise in inches, pick the tread width and the stair system. Add a landing if you want one - a tall rise gets one automatically.

What you'll get

Tread and riser counts, the total run, a by-the-part list with every quantity editable, and the matching stair kits with prices.

Based on a 7¾-inch max riser and 10-inch treads (common residential code). Materials ship as lengths — stringers and treads get their final cuts on site. The longest stringer we can supply is 16 ft; a taller rise plans as two flights with a landing — or add a landing by choice on any stair.
