Calculation Formula

Slope (Percentage) = (Rise / Run) * 100

Where:
Rise: The vertical distance the sidewalk rises.
Run: The horizontal distance the sidewalk runs.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the rise (vertical distance) of the sidewalk in feet.
  2. Enter the run (horizontal distance) of the sidewalk in feet.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the slope.
  4. The slope will be displayed as a percentage.

Understanding the Slope

The slope of a sidewalk is typically expressed as a percentage. A slope of 1% means that for every 100 feet of horizontal distance, the sidewalk rises 1 foot. Proper slope is crucial for accessibility and safety.
