3/8, 3/8/, 2 is the right answer. (IRC R314.2)
The slope allowed is 1 in 48 (2.08%) or 1/4" per foot.

Great question Richard. I
v been an interprovincial journeyman finish carpenter for over 35 years and ive never seen it expressed like that. I like it. I never thought about the 2% althought the 1/4" slope is code here for exterior stairs. Personally i would never build a set of stairs with more than 1/8" variation between risers. I guess that`s just my professional pride showing.cheers Wayne
