Walking pace

Enter your height and weight to see your distance and calories.

Calories use the MET method (energy = MET × body weight × time), so heavier people and faster paces burn more. The “extra calories” figure subtracts what you would have burned resting anyway. Smartwatch counts may differ.

Step length is estimated from height (about 41% of it). For a more accurate result, measure your own: walk 10 steps, measure the distance and divide by 10.

What Do Your Steps Add Up To?

Enter your steps and the calculator uses your height to estimate your stride, then gives distance, walking time and calories burned for your pace. Switch to the second mode to see how many steps you need to burn a target number of calories.

What you can do

  • Steps → kilometres or miles, minutes and calories (total and above resting).
  • Calories → steps needed, at a pace from a slow stroll to a light jog.
  • A progress ring against the 10,000-step goal and a table of common step counts.

Good to know

  • Calories use the MET method, so body weight and pace matter. Fitness trackers may report different numbers.
  • Step length is estimated at about 41% of your height. You can enter your own for more accuracy.
  • Your measurements are saved only in your browser so the other health calculators remember them, and are never sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

How many calories does 10,000 steps burn?

For a 70 kg person at an average pace it’s roughly 380 calories, and more if you’re heavier or walk faster.

How many steps are in a kilometre?

Around 1,300–1,500 for most adults, depending on step length.

How do I find my step length?

Walk 10 steps, measure the distance and divide by 10, or leave it empty to estimate from your height.

Is 10,000 steps a day necessary?

It’s a popular goal, not a rule. Health benefits start well below it, and more steps generally help.

Why is my smartwatch number different?

Watches use heart rate and motion data, while this uses a standard formula. Treat both as estimates.
