Roof Pitch Calculator
Part of URBLD — the operating system for field service businesses. Explore Roof Measurements & Reports →
Roof pitch is calculated as rise over run — the vertical rise of the roof over a 12-inch horizontal run. A 6/12 pitch rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of run. In URBLD, pitch is entered by you, matched against a Street View overlay, or proposed by an AI step for review — then applied as the multiplier that converts plan area to sloped area.
