Keld

The numbers you need, before you cut.

Rafter lengths, stair stringers, board feet, concrete. The calculations a tradesperson runs every day — right the first time, and free to use right here.

No account. Nothing to install. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Calculators

Free, and the same maths as the app

Roof pitch & common rafter

Pitch to angle, slope factor, and common rafter length with the ridge deduction and tail.

Open the calculator →

Stair stringer layout

Equal risers from a total rise, with tread depth, total run, stringer length and the 2R+T check.

Open the calculator →

Board feet

Board feet from nominal dimensions, for one piece or a whole order.

Open the calculator →

Concrete volume

Slabs, continuous footings and round piers in cubic yards, with waste and bag counts.

Open the calculator →

Hip & valley rafter

Hip length, hip angle, and the common difference that steps every jack rafter down.

Open the calculator →

Compound miter for crown

Miter and bevel settings for sprung moulding cut flat, at any spring and corner angle.

Open the calculator →

Conduit offset bending

Multiplier, distance between bends, and the shrink to take off the measurement.

Open the calculator →

Pipe rolling offset

True offset, travel and run when a pipe moves up and sideways at once.

Open the calculator →

Rebar mat & weight

Bar count both ways, total linear feet and weight, for a slab mat at your spacing.

Open the calculator →

Wall framing takeoff

Studs, plates and sheathing for a straight wall — with what is deliberately left out.

Open the calculator →

Roofing squares & bundles

Footprint and pitch to roof area, squares and bundles, with waste.

Open the calculator →

Drainage slope & fall

Total fall over a run, in inches per foot, percent or ratio — all three at once.

The app

Everything here, where the signal isn't.

The calculators on this site are the app's functions running in a browser. The app is the same maths on your phone, built for the place the work actually happens: offline, because basements and steel buildings have no signal, and quick enough to use with gloves on.

  • Works with no connection. Every calculation runs on the device.
  • Saved jobs. Keep a project's numbers together instead of re-entering them.
  • Reference tables built in. Lumber sizes and pitch conversions, without a search.
  • Free to use. The everyday calculations stay free.

Keld is in build now, for iOS and Android. Until it ships, everything on this site is free and needs no account.
