It should be about a foot. A pretty standard formula is 2*rise + run = 24-25 inches.
It's also pretty common for steps to be 7in high and 11 in long, which is what you get when you make it out of 2x6
Of course this gets squeezed to fit and it's more ok to mess up or cheat with 3 steps than a stairway
