22/12 roof pitch in degrees

A 22-in-12 roof — 22 inches of rise for every 12 inches of run — as an angle, a percent grade, a slope ratio, and the rafter length it adds per foot of run.

What it means on the roof

Set a speed square to 61.39° for the plumb and seat cuts. Every foot of horizontal run adds 2' 1-1/16" of common-rafter length, so a run of 10 ft makes a rafter about ten times that. The percent grade (183.3333%) is the same slope a road sign or a laser level reads.
