Steps to kilometres converter

Your phone or fitness band counts steps — but how far did you actually walk, and how many calories did it burn? Thissteps to km converter estimates your stride length from your height (or uses the one you measured), converts steps into kilometres, and estimates the calories burned and time taken at your walking pace using standard MET values. A quick table shows common step goals too.

How to use it

  1. Enter your step count, height and weight.
  2. Choose your usual pace — or enter a measured stride length.
  3. Read your distance, calories and time.

Example

A woman 160 cm tall has an estimated stride of about 66 cm, so 10,000 steps is about6.6 km — roughly 1,500 steps per kilometre. At a normal pace that takes about 1 hour 22 minutes, and at 62 kg it burns around 300 calories. Plan the rest of your day's eating with thecalorie calculator, and stay hydrated with thewater intake calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How many steps are in 1 km?
For most adults, about 1,300–1,500 walking steps make a kilometre, depending on height and stride. A taller person with a longer stride needs fewer steps.
How many calories do 10,000 steps burn?
Roughly 300–450 calories for most adults, depending on body weight and pace. A heavier person burns more for the same distance, and brisk walking burns more per minute than strolling.
How do I measure my stride length?
Walk 20 normal steps on a measured stretch (or a track), measure the distance in centimetres and divide by 20. Enter it in the calculator for a more accurate result than the height-based estimate.
Do I need 10,000 steps a day?
10,000 is a popular goal, not a medical rule. Studies link around 7,000–8,000 steps a day with clear health benefits for most adults; more is good, but any increase from your current level helps.
