Slope Percentage Calculator

This slope percentage calculator can determine the percentage of slope and angle from the rise and run values.

Formula & Equation Used

Slope % =  
rise
run
  × 100%

Angle (degrees) = tan-1 (rise ÷ run)

Example:

Find the slope percentage and angle (in degrees) for a rise of 12' and a run of 25':

Slope % =  
12
25
  × 100%

Slope % = 0.48 × 100%

Slope % = 48%

Angle = tan-1 (12 ÷ 25)

Angle = tan-1 (0.48)

Angle = 25.641° or 0.44752 rad
