Cantilever beam calculator

Cantilevers concentrate everything at the fixed support: the maximum moment and shear both occur at the wall, and deflection grows toward the free tip. This page loads a cantilever preset; extend it with multiple loads, a propped tip or an internal hinge. The calculator below is pre-loaded; change anything and results update instantly.

About this case

Fixed cantilever under uniform load over its full length.

All diagrams use the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory with an exact finite-element solver that runs entirely in your browser. You can move supports by dragging them, switch unit systems at the top of the input panel, and export results as CSV or a printable report.
