Determina la inclinación, el ángulo y el porcentaje de un techo.
In construction, the 'pitch' of a roof describes its vertical rise relative to its horizontal run. Understanding pitch is vital because it determines which roofing materials can be used (e.g., shingles vs. metal), how fast water will drain, and the complexity of the rafter cuts. In the US, pitch is typically expressed as a ratio over 12 (like 4/12), while engineers may prefer degrees. Our Roof Pitch Calculator provides both, helping homeowners and contractors communicate clearly and ensure their roof meets local building codes for snow load and weather resistance.
Cómo funciona
The tool uses the Rise and Run inputs to calculate the slope. It determines the Pitch-over-12 by normalizing the ratio, and uses the arctan function to find the exact Angle in degrees.
Fórmula de cálculo
Angle = arctan(Rise / Run)
Calculation Examples
1. **Common Pitch**: A rise of 6 inches and run of 12 inches is a **6/12 pitch** or a **26.6° angle**.
Why use this tool in your daily life?
