I have a sloped ceiling at home and I'm going to buy a pax wardrobe that I will cut to fit in the sloped ceiling. How do I calculate the angle for the wardrobe to fit in the sloped ceiling?

I'm not a math whiz. I don't understand formulas and stuff. Is there a simple way to calculate it all?
 
The same as the slope of the roof, preferably.

It is probably easier not to try to set a specific angle. Measure how high the wardrobe can be where the ceiling is lowest. And how far out from the wall the ceiling is as high as the wardrobe. Mark the measurements on the side of the wardrobe that you are going to saw.

That's what I did.

And then you should double and triple-check that you're cutting the right corner.
I didn't do that 🙄

No, it's a crawl space that constitutes the slope😊

Hmm... Yes, this might be the best!

You wrote sloped ceiling. Crawl space is nothing I'm familiar with. Is it something that causes closets to need to be slanted?

The wardrobe is going in here.

The wardrobe is 58 cm deep. The slope from the wall is 90 cm deep.

How do you know how long it should be straight before you start cutting it at an angle?

You measure.

I have cut out a template for what the pax will look like later. But how do I measure to get the correct slope now? In other words, how long the straight line is before the bevel cut starts?

Sheet of OSB board with labeled dimensions A, B, and C for measuring and cutting against a sloped ceiling and adjacent wall.
Measure from the back of the "frame" to the wall, this will be measurement A, which you should have at the top edge.
When measuring from A, measure horizontally to get height B directly.
Then cut according to C.

Is it that simple? I will try!
