Land Slope Calculator

Calculate the slope of land by entering the rise and run measurements

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Slope = (Rise / Run) * 100%

Where:
Rise = Height difference between two points
Run = Horizontal distance between the same two points

Land Slope Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Land Slope Calculator and understand its principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the Rise (height difference between two points) in meters.
  2. Enter the Run (horizontal distance between the same two points) in meters.
  3. Click the Calculate button to compute the slope.
  4. The calculator will display the slope as a percentage and an angle in degrees.

Understanding the Results

The slope is calculated using the formula:

Slope = (Rise / Run) * 100%

The slope angle is calculated using the arctangent of the rise over the run:

Slope Angle = atan(Rise / Run) * (180 / π)

Where π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.

Example

If you have a rise of 2 meters and a run of 10 meters:

  • Slope Percentage = (2 / 10) * 100% = 20%
  • Slope Angle = atan(2 / 10) * (180 / π) ≈ 11.31°
