How to Calculate a Gradient Number
So how do you calculate a gradient? This is very simple.  This is very simple. Just make sure you keep your r

Step 1: Work out the run length. This is the horizontal distance along the ground. Example number 60 metres
Step 2: Work out the rise length. This is the vertical length going up. Example number 12 metres.
Step 3: Divide the rise length by the run length, in a calculator this would be 12 ÷ 60 . This would equal a gra

Example Calculation
Run length = 25 metres
Rise Length = 0.8 metres

Gradient = 0.8 / 25
Gradient = 0.032

Run Length = 500 mm

Rise Length = 1200 mm

Gradient = 1200 / 500

Gradient = 2.4

Step 2: Work out the rise length. This is the vertical length going up. Example number 12 metres.
Step 3: Divide the run length by the rise length, in a calculator this would be 60 ÷ 12 . This would equa

Example Calculations
Run length = 25 metres
Rise Length = 0.8 metres

Gradient = 25/ 0.8

Gradient = 1:31.25
