L-Shaped Stair with Landing Calculator

Timber stock

Step 1 of the upper flight has only 894 mm of headroom under the ceiling — below the 2000 mm required (short by 1106 mm). Extend the opening toward the landing by at least 300 mm, or move it the same amount, so it starts before this step.

Stair pitch of 25.53° is outside the commonly comfortable range of 30°-45°. This is a general rule of thumb, not a specific building code requirement — comfortable ranges vary by country.

2 × riser height + going is 698 mm, outside the comfortable range of 630 mm ± 30 mm (the historical "Blondel formula"). This is a general rule of thumb, not a specific building code requirement.
