Enter frame sides.

Formula

miter saw angle from a square cut=180°/n; interior angle=180°−360°/n.
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Equal sides and symmetric corner cuts in one plane. This is not a compound miter or bevel calculation.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Frame sides: 6

A six-sided regular frame uses a 30° miter setting at each board end.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter frame sides. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

miter saw angle from a square cut=180°/n; interior angle=180°−360°/n.. Equal sides and symmetric corner cuts in one plane. This is not a compound miter or bevel calculation.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?

No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
