Risers are the total rise divided into equal steps, nearest the riser you prefer. 2R + G is a comfort check, often looked at around 550 to 700 mm. It is not a code design.

- Enter the riser you would like and the going.
- Read the number of risers, the actual riser, 2R + G and the slope.
Questions
What is 2R + G?
Twice the riser plus the going. A figure around 550 to 700 mm is a common comfort check. It does not approve the stair.
How many treads are there?
One fewer than the number of risers, for a single flight with no landing.
