Can someone help me with this equation? I am training for hiking. What is every degree increase in incline equivalent to elevation gain in mountain?

I just assumed it was a percentage. Like out on the roads it will say 7%grade. I thought the numbers of the inclines were equal to that. Anyone else have an idea?
