Step counter

Step calculators

Reviewed

One calculator per question: steps to kilometres or miles, a distance back to steps, calories burned, your stride length, how brisk your cadence is, how long a walk takes and how many steps a treadmill session adds up to. Each works from your height or weight and uses the same estimates as the AltFTool step counter.

Km to stepssteps = km × 1,000 ÷ step length (m)
Steps to milesmiles = steps × step length (m) ÷ 1,609.344
Miles to stepssteps = miles × 1,609.344 ÷ step length (m)
Steps to calorieskcal = steps × 0.0006 × body weight (kg)
Stride lengthstep length = 0.415 × height · or · step length = distance walked ÷ steps counted
Walking timeminutes = steps ÷ steps per minute (cadence)
Treadmill stepssteps = speed × time ÷ step length, where step length = height-based step × √(speed ÷ 4.5 km/h)
Walking cadencecadence (steps/min) = steps ÷ minutes · or · steps in 15 seconds × 4
Step length defaults to 0.75 m, or 0.415 × height when you enter it. Calories default to a 70 kg body weight.
