The construction calculator apps tradespeople relied on for years now charge rent — £40 every year, forever, for the same maths. Rafter is the alternative: pay once, own it for good.
Rafter does on-site maths the way you think it: feet, inches and fractions — on a real keypad, with the working shown on every answer.
PAY ONCE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. WORKS OFFLINE.
FEET-INCH-FRACTION CALCULATOR
- Add, subtract, multiply and divide in feet-inches-fractions (1/8", 1/16", 1/32")
- Full dimensional maths: length × length = area, area × depth = volume — straight to cubic yards
- Tap the display to convert: decimal feet, inches, yards, metres, centimetres, millimetres
- The honest ≈ mark: when a result can't land exactly on a fraction, Rafter tells you
RAFTERS — Common, hip/valley and jack lengths from pitch and span. Plumb and level cut angles. Jack table at 12/16/19.2/24" centres. Pitch ↔ degrees ↔ percent, live. The framing-square per-foot number on every result so you can check it yourself.
STAIRS — Total rise in, full layout out: risers, treads, total going, stringer length and the stock board to buy. Code check against IRC defaults (editable) with clear pass/fail badges. Adjust the riser count and watch everything recompute.
SQUARE & TIMBER — Diagonal squaring with out-of-square deviation. Board feet with cost, the way timber is actually sold.
PAPERLESS TAPE — Every answer lands on the tape automatically. Recall any number with a tap. Star and label figures by job. Text or CSV the whole list to the contractor.
