Slope and gradient converter

Convert height difference and horizontal distance into slope percentage, angle and sloped length.

Result

Enter your data or use the example, then run the tool.

Worked example

Rise 1 and run 10 gives 10%, 5.7106° and sloped length 10.0499 in the same unit.

Method

Slope percentage is height difference ÷ horizontal distance × 100. The angle comes from the same right triangle; sloped length is the square root of the two lengths squared and added. You can also enter percentage or angle to find height difference.

Limits

Use the same unit for both lengths. Horizontal distance is not sloped distance. A nonzero height over zero horizontal distance is vertical; zero over zero is undefined. Results do not establish accessibility, drainage or road compliance.
