How to Calculate Roof Pitch in Degrees
- First, you need to measure the run of your roof. ...
- Next, you need to figure out the rise. ...
- Now, divide the rise by the run. ...
- Then, divide 1 by your tangent.
- Finally, multiply this result by 180/π and you've calculated your roof pitch!
How do you calculate roof pitch in metric?
The roof pitch calculator finds the length of the rafter and the roof slope (in degrees and in percents).
...
How to calculate roof pitch?
- rafter² = rise² + run² (from the Pythagorean theorem);
- rise / run = pitch , where pitch is expressed in percent;
- pitch = tan (angle) , where angle is the roof pitch expressed in degrees.
