Calculate Gradient From Two Levels
Convert two spot levels and a distance into the basic gradient information needed for drainage, landscape, access and early site calculations.
How to use it in practice
If a level changes from 100.000 m to 99.400 m over 12 m, the difference is -0.600 m and the gradient is -5.0%, indicating a fall toward the second point.
How to use Calculate Gradient From Two Levels
- 1
Enter the start level and end level in the same unit.
- 2
Enter the horizontal distance between the two points.
- 3
Calculate to get the level difference, percentage gradient and angle.
- 4
Use the sign of the result to understand whether the second point rises or falls relative to the first.
Common questions
What does a negative gradient mean?
It means the end level is lower than the start level using the order in which you entered them.
Can I use millimetres for levels?
Use consistent units for the start level, end level and distance relationship. The provided interface is intended around metre-based levels and distance.
Is this the same as slope ratio?
The result shows percentage and angle. You can use the separate slope converter when you also want a 1:n ratio.
