Create an ideal staircase with one simple measurement. Fine-tune the stairs to fit your space with an easy to use and understand, graphical interface.
Enter the total rise, and the app calculates total run (base length or overall run), pitch (angle or slope), unit run (goings or tread), unit rise (rise or step height), and all other measurements. You can then adjust the total run to fit your available space or preferred tread materials. A feature unique to Delux Stairs fine-tunes the stringer to accommodate for differences in flooring thicknesses such as the tread thickness and upper and lower finished flooring. This ensures every step is identical, which is the difference between clumsy, dangerous, amateur stairs and professional-quality, comfortable, code-compliant stairs. Additional stair details, such as nosing, riser thickness and stringer dimensions are also calculated and adjustable.
Blueprint plans can be directly printed or emailed in PDF which include platform position options, stringer peak positions, bottom step rise adjustments, top step run adjustments, and more.
The headroom clearance tool is also unique to Delux Stairs and not only shows you top floor opening requirements with adjustable floor thicknesses, but also continuous headroom obstruction clearance from the top to the bottom of the stairs.

What's New in Delux Stairs Construction calc
2.7.3
February 14, 2019
Added ability to directly print from in app.
Under the hood optimizations.
Updated layout to accommodate new phone models.
Fixed a bug that caused email functionality to fail if no email accounts were set up on the device.
I bought this app several years ago and had perfect results the first time I used it (1st time ever building stairs!) Super easy to use and I had no issues at all.
Now we’re 2024 and I just opened the app to build stairs on my new deck and had the stringer plans done effectively in just a few minutes. I marked the stringers and had them cut out moments later.
I love this app and some of the best few dollars I ever spent. 👏👏👏👏👍👍
