How this stair calculator works

Start with the finished-floor to finished-floor rise. StructCalc divides that rise by its target stair rise, then returns three nearby layout options: fewer steps, the ideal layout and more steps. Each option gives tread rise, tread run, stair angle and total run.

The standard mount option treats the top floor as the final step. Flush mount includes the extra run because the top tread lands flush with the upper level. That distinction matters when you are checking available floor space or marking a stair opening.

Example stair layout

For a total rise of 2800 mm, the calculator returns a set of practical stair layout options. You can compare the total run and angle before committing to a stringer layout. On site, that makes it easier to check whether the stair fits the available opening and whether the rise and run feel reasonable.
