Stair Stringer Calculator – Spreadsheet Recently I wrote an article about how to build a set of stairs . Since then I’ve had inquiries about some type of calculator or spreadsheet to quickly calculate the rise and run measurements for the stringers. So I sat down and put together a quick Excel spreadsheet that helps you calculate the total number of risers, riser height and tread run. If you’re interested in getting a copy of the spreadsheet please subscribe to my feed by using the links below. Once you’ve subscribed to the feed you’ll find a link to the calculator in the footer. It’s really easy to do and you’ll continue to receive notifications of similar free tools. All I ask is that you check with your local building officials to make sure you’re following the applicable building codes. Also, if you share it with others please leave the website address on it. How To Use Stair Stringer Calculator The free stair stringer calculator / spreadsheet is really easy to use. However, before you begin you’ll need to track down some information. You will need to following information: Total Height of Stairs Required – This should be the height from one finished floor to the other finished floor, measured vertically (plumb). Local Maximum Riser Height – This is the maximum riser height allowed by the building code. Be sure to check with your local building code official to be sure you’re

current. Typically this number ranges from 7 inches to 8 inches. Local Minimum Riser Height – Again the building code will specify a minimum riser height. Local Minimum Tread Depth (run) – This is the minimum tread depth allowed by code. This is measured from the face of the riser to the face of the adjacent riser without the tread nose. Local Minimum Tread Overhang – This is the minimum nosing overhang measured from the face of the riser to the front edge of the nosing. This is typically limited by the building code. Local Maximum Tread Overhang – This is the maximum nosing overhang measured from the face of the riser to the front edge of the nosing. This is typically limited by the building code. Once you have this information you simply enter it into the stair calculator in the blue boxes. The spreadsheet will calculate the rise and run for the stringers and show that information in the yellow boxes. It’s really as simple as that. Good luck.
