If you know the angle of the roof in degrees you can find the roof pitch by converting the angle in degrees to a slope then finding the rise by multiplying the slope by 12.

Roof pitch refers to the amount of rise a roof has compared to the horizontal measurement of the roof called the run. First find the slope by finding the tangent of the degrees eg. You can also use this roof slope calculator to recalculate the roof pitch from degrees to percents. Our roof rafter calculator tools are handy for calculating the number of rafters needed rafter length calculator lineal feet of rafter board feed in ridge and sub facia and the total board feet in the roof.

If your goal is to only calculate the roof height do not enter any numbers in wall height field and only use building width and roof pitch fields. Rise and run means that a 6 12 pitch roof has 6 of rise vertical for each foot of run horizontal.
