How to Calculate

Staircase Concrete Formula

Steps Volume = (Rise × Run × Width × Steps) / 2

Waist Slab = Slope Length × Thickness × Width

Calculate individual step volume using the triangle formula, then sum for all steps. The waist slab follows the slope of the staircase. Add both volumes together and include 5–10% waste.

Step volume

Triangle area × width per step

Waist slab

Follows hypotenuse of rise and run

Typical thickness

150–200mm waist slab for residential stairs
