Seven NCC calculators. Free, no account.

Deterministic code, not a model. Every table is transcribed from NCC 2022 Amendment 2 and covered by unit tests, so the same inputs always give the same result and any result can be reproduced without an assistant in the loop.

How a result reads

The stair calculator showing inputs, a live section drawing, the verdict line and the receipt naming the NCC table it read from
The stair calculator: inputs, the section, the verdict and the receipt.
  • Inputs, then a drawing

    Type the riser, the going, the width or the floor area and the diagram redraws as you go. The inputs sit in the address bar too, so a result can be sent as a link and opens exactly as you left it.

  • A verdict line

    One sentence says whether the design complies and, when it does not, which limit it fails and by how much. There is no model in the loop: the same inputs always give the same answer.

  • A receipt that names its table

    Below the verdict, the receipt lists the table and clause each figure was read from, so the result can be checked against the Code. Under it, one button hands the result to the assistant to talk through what it means for your project.
