How to Calculate Elevation Grade

  1. Enter any slope measurement: degrees, percent grade, ratio, inches per foot, or mm per meter
  2. The calculator instantly converts to all other slope formats
  3. Results show: degrees, percentage, rise/run ratio, inverse ratio, and construction measurements

Formula Reference

  • Percent Grade: Grade % = tan(angle in degrees) × 100
  • Rise/Run Ratio: Ratio = tan(angle in degrees)
  • Angle from Percent: Degrees = arctan(percent / 100) × (180/π)
  • Inches per Foot: Rise per foot = tan(degrees) × 12
