Roof Pitch to Degrees Calculator








With the calculator above, you can calculate the angle of a roof based on its pitch, which is the angle formed by the roof surface and the horizontal plane. Roof pitches are usually described by rise and run, which are the vertical and horizontal distances between two points on the roof.

To use this calculator, you need to measure the rise and run of the roof, in feet or any other unit of length. The rise is the vertical distance between the top of the roof and the point where the roof starts. The run is the horizontal distance between the two points where the rise is measured.

Once you have these values, you can input them into the calculator on the website, and it will calculate the angle of the roof in degrees. The resulting angle tells you how steep the roof is. This can be helpful information if you're planning to make any changes or repairs to the roof. It can also be helpful information if you're looking to install solar panels or other equipment that needs to be mounted on the roof.

In general, a steeper roof pitch means that the roof is more resistant to wind and weather damage, but may be more difficult to work on or access. A shallower pitch may be easier to work on and maintain, but may not be as durable in extreme weather conditions.
