About This Calculator
This calculator estimates calories burned from walking based on your number of steps, height, and weight. It uses a standard stride formula to estimate distance and a fixed multiplier to convert that distance into energy expenditure.
How It Works
- Select your unit system: Metric (cm, kg) or Imperial (ft/in, lb).
- Enter your total steps walked.
- Input your height. The calculator estimates stride length as height × 0.414.
- Input your weight. Calories burned are based on distance × weight × 1.036.
- View your stride length and estimated calorie burn.
Calories = Steps × Height × 0.414 × Weight × 1.036 ÷ 100000
