Window Sill & Soffit Calculator (Quick J/S Input Helper)

Global Assumptions

Quick rules of thumb (non-binding): default sill ~30 in; egress window head gap is whatever remains; verify locally if bedroom egress limits apply (typical max sill ≤ 44 in). Use this tool to derive missing inputs for energy software when plans don’t call out these dimensions.

Visualizer (selected row)

Wall height (FS) = 96 in
Overhang = 18 in

Assumptions & Notes

  • When both Sill Override and Top Gap Override are blank, the calculator uses the Default Sill Target and computes the top gap.
  • If you enter a Sill Override, the top gap is computed. If you enter a Top Gap Override, the sill is computed. If you enter both, both are honored and the Header Elevation becomes a check.
  • Validation flags: negative gaps, sill > 44 in (egress check), bottom < 18 in (safety glazing check) are highlighted as guidance only.
