Step 2 · Determine the Ideal Riser Height

The ideal riser height is typically between 7 and 7.75 inches. Divide the total rise by a target number of risers to find the exact riser height. For example, if the total rise is 100 inches, aiming for a riser height of around 7 inches would mean 100 / 7 = ~14.28 risers. You'll need to round this to a whole number.
