How this calculator works
Steps × 0.414 × height gives estimated distance. Distance divided by speed gives duration. Gross kilocalories are MET × 3.5 × body weight in kg ÷ 200 × minutes. The MET estimate changes with walking speed.
A worked example
Body weight: 70 · Weight unit: Kilograms · Height: 170 · Length unit: Centimetres · Step count: 10,000 · Walking speed: 5 · Speed unit: km/h

Common questions
Why does my watch show a different calorie number?
A watch may use heart rate, personal gait and active calories, while this calculator uses an estimated step length and average gross MET cost.
How should I use the result?
The estimate includes resting energy during the walk. It is not a measured calorie burn and should not be added twice to a daily energy budget.
