Formula notes
Estimate riser count and going from total rise and preferred going. The calculation uses the visible inputs, applies allowances where shown, and rounds ordering-style quantities up where practical.
Worked example
Example: enter the default values above, review the risers, then adjust the allowance to suit supplier data and site conditions.

Trade calculator results are more useful when they feed the work package: scope checks, material planning and the briefing that keeps delivery aligned.

Check the scope
Use the estimate to confirm measurements, assumptions, labour and site readiness.

Prepare materials
Move quantities into stock checks, purchase notes and job-linked material records.

Brief the work
Share the assumptions, limits and controls with the team before the job starts.
