About the Steps to Distance Calculator
The AlarmDaddy Steps to Distance calculator turns a step count into the distance you covered in kilometres and miles, and estimates the calories burned. Enter your steps and your stride length — the average is about 0.75 metres — and add your body weight for a calorie estimate.
It is the quick companion to a pedometer or fitness tracker when you want to know how far 10,000 steps actually took you.
How to use this calculator
- 1Enter your number of steps.
- 2Enter your stride length (about 0.75 m on average).
- 3Add your body weight for a calorie estimate.
- 4Read the distance in km and miles, and the calories burned.
The formula
Multiplying the step count by your stride length gives the distance. Calories are estimated using roughly 0.5 kcal per kilogram of body weight per kilometre walked — a common walking heuristic that varies with pace and terrain.
