Turn a step count into an estimate of calories burned. Enter your steps, body weight, and pace, and the calculator does the MET math for you.

Estimated calories burned for this walk.

Approximate distance covered.

Estimates use the MET method (calories per minute = MET x 3.5 x kg / 200). Real burn varies with terrain, fitness, and stride length. Treat this as a close ballpark, not an exact figure.

How it works

Why weight and pace matter most.

Two people who both walk 10,000 steps can burn very different amounts. Body weight is the largest factor, because you carry that mass with every step. Pace is next: a brisk walk raises the intensity and burns more per minute than an easy stroll.

This tool estimates distance from your step count using a pace-based stride, then applies the MET method used in exercise science. It is the same math behind our steps guides, exposed as a calculator so you can plug in your own numbers.

The result is a close ballpark. To track the other side of the equation, what you eat, snap a photo of your meal in the free calorietrack.ai web app and get calories without searching a database.

Questions, answered.

Calories burned depend on distance and intensity, not steps alone. This calculator estimates the distance from your step count, then applies the MET method: calories per minute equal MET times 3.5 times your weight in kilograms divided by 200. Body weight and pace are the biggest factors.
