Percent Grade to Degree Calculator

Percent Grade or Slope Percentage is a fractional expression. It is used to express the ratio of difference of altitudes between two points on a slope to the horizontal distance between points multiplied by 100.

In order to change Percent Grade to Degrees, you need to know little trigonometry. If you consider the slope between two points as the hypotenuse of the right triangle, change in altitude between those points is the rise of the triangle, and the horizontal distance between the point is run. Rise over the run is the tangent of the angle θ.

Check out the conversion process on how to change Percentage Grade or Slope Percentage to Degree.

• Firstly, express the Percent Grade as a fraction of 100.
• Next, convert the fraction to a decimal value.
• Look up the decimal fractions in the table of tangents in order to find the angles to which they correspond.

Formula to convert Percent Grade to Degrees is given as follows

Degrees = Tan^-1 (Slope Percent/100)
