About This Calculator
This calculator converts between walking steps and kilometers based on your height and gender. It estimates your stride length to calculate either distance walked or number of steps needed.
How It Works
Stride length is estimated as 43% of height for males and 40% for females. You can convert:
- Steps to Kilometers: Multiply steps by stride length, then divide by 100000 (cm per km)
- Kilometers to Steps: Multiply km by 100000, then divide by stride length
Steps to Kilometers Conversion Table
| Steps | Male (km) | Female (km) |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 steps | 0.78 | 0.70 |
| 2000 steps | 1.56 | 1.40 |
| 3000 steps | 2.34 | 2.10 |
| 4000 steps | 3.12 | 2.80 |
| 5000 steps | 3.90 | 3.50 |
| 6000 steps | 4.68 | 4.20 |
| 7000 steps | 5.46 | 4.90 |
| 8000 steps | 6.24 | 5.60 |
| 9000 steps | 7.02 | 6.30 |
| 10000 steps | 7.80 | 7.00 |
| 12000 steps | 9.36 | 8.40 |
| 14000 steps | 10.92 | 9.80 |
| 16000 steps | 12.48 | 11.20 |
| 18000 steps | 14.04 | 12.60 |
| 20000 steps | 15.60 | 14.00 |
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this calculator?
It provides personalized estimates using your height and gender. Actual stride may vary with your walking style.
Can I use it for both walking and running?
No, this tool is designed for walking steps only. Running strides are longer and require a different formula.
Why are stride lengths different for men and women?
Because of average body proportions, men and women tend to have different stride lengths.
Can I manually input my stride?
This calculator estimates stride automatically. For custom stride input, a different tool would be needed.
Is this calculator suitable for kids?
It’s optimized for adults. Children may have different stride-to-height ratios.
