About the Walking Time Calculator

The AlarmDaddy Walking Time calculator estimates how long a walk will take from the distance and your walking speed. Enter a distance in kilometres or miles and a speed — a comfortable average is about 5 km/h — to get the time in hours and minutes.

It is useful for planning commutes, sightseeing routes and training walks when you want a realistic time rather than just a distance.

How to use this calculator

  1. 1Enter the distance and choose km or miles.
  2. 2Enter your walking speed (about 5 km/h on average).
  3. 3Read the walking time in hours and minutes.

The formula

Time = distance ÷ speed.

Dividing the distance by your walking speed gives the time. At 5 km/h, one kilometre takes 12 minutes; the calculator handles any distance and speed you enter.
