Roof Pitch
Roof pitch (slope truthfully, but everyone calls it pitch) refers to the amount of rise a roof has compared to the horizontal measurement of the roof. The picture below shows the pitch of a 7-12 roof slope meaning that for 12" of horizontal measurement (roof run) the vertical measurement (roof rise) is 7".

This measurement is best done on a bare roof because curled up roofing shingles will impair your measurement. If this isn't practical then perform the same measurement on the underside of the roof. We included a roof pitch chart below the 7-12 example image and the calculator below that.

Roof Pitch Calculator If none of the above is working for you this tool will convert pitch to angle or angle to pitch for half degree roof slope calculations. Enter any pitch or fraction of pitch to find angle. Enter any angle or fraction of angle to find pitch.
