About this tool
Estimate calories burned playing badminton singles or doubles from your body weight, rally time and break time.
The Badminton Calorie Burn Calculator converts your body weight, rally time and break time into an estimated calorie burn using the MET equation kcal/min = MET x 3.5 x kg / 200. The Compendium of Physical Activities rates competitive badminton at 7.0 METs and social singles or doubles at 5.5 METs, and this tool prices the singles-versus-doubles gap in between, while breaks between games are counted separately at the 1.3 MET standing rate. It suits club players and coaches who want a session figure that reflects real time on court rather than total time at the hall.

Time spent waiting between games is priced at the standing rate, not the playing rate.
Four formats instead of one blanket MET value for all badminton.
Each format states whether its MET value is a published Compendium figure or interpolated.
A 68 kg player burns about 500 kcal in an hour of continuous competitive singles, based on the Compendium's 7.0 MET value for competitive badminton. Social doubles at 5.5 METs works out closer to 390 kcal per hour for the same player.
Yes. In singles one player covers the entire 13.4 m by 5.18 m court alone, while doubles partners share a wider court, so singles sits at the higher end of the 5.5 to 7.0 MET range published for badminton.
Count it separately. Standing between games is roughly 1.3 METs, about a fifth of the burn rate of a rally, so entering two hours of hall time as two hours of play can overstate the total by several hundred calories.
Badminton is a vigorous-intensity activity at competitive pace, so it counts towards the WHO guideline of 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous activity a week. Weight change still depends on overall energy balance, so treat this figure as informational and discuss any weight-loss plan with a doctor or dietitian.
