How to Calculate Ramp

What is Ramp?

A ramp calculator determines the slope, length, and rise needed for an ADA-compliant or other accessibility ramp. ADA guidelines require a maximum slope of 1:12 (one inch of rise per 12 inches of run). A 24-inch platform height requires at least 24 feet of ramp length.
