Understand the inputs
- Floor-to-floor height
- Unit: cm. Use a measured value or your own assumption.

- Unit: cm. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Assumptions and limitations
Riser count is rounded up, then rise and an approximate stride relationship are calculated. Headroom, run, handrails and local building rules are not checked.
The formula uses the specified units. Displayed numbers are rounded; whole packs, item counts and full time periods may also be rounded within the calculation.
