Earthwork and Slope

These calculators cover moving soil and measuring slope. Cut and fill balances excavation against fill, and the dirt calculator gives the volume and truckloads. The slope and roof pitch calculators convert rise and run into pitch, degrees and percent.

Tools in this group

• Cut and Fill Calculator — Type cut and fill depths on a grid, or areas and average depths, to get excavation, fill and the earthwork balance.
• Dirt Calculator — Enter the area and depth to fill and get the cubic yards (or m³) of dirt to order, its weight and the number of truckloads.
• Rise Over Run Calculator (Slope Percentage) — Enter rise and run, two elevations and a distance, a percent or an angle to get the slope in every common form.
• Roof Pitch and Slope Calculator — Enter rise and run, the span, an angle or a pitch to get the roof pitch in x/12, degrees and percent, and the rafter length.
