Daily Steps to Distance & Calories
Convert your daily step count into the distance you covered in miles and kilometres, and estimate the calories you burned, using your height and weight.
This tool first estimates your step length from your height (about 0.415 × height for men, 0.413 for women), then multiplies by your step count for distance. Calories use a walking value of roughly 0.05 kcal per kg per 100 m at a steady pace. Enter your numbers below.

Frequently asked questions
- How accurate is steps to miles?
- It is an estimate. Because step length comes from your height, it is more personal than a fixed 2,000-steps-per-mile rule, but real distance varies with pace and terrain.
- How many calories does 10,000 steps burn?
- Very roughly 250 to 500 kcal for most adults, depending on weight, height and walking speed. Heavier and faster walkers burn more. Enter your details for a tailored figure.
- Why does my fitness tracker show a different number?
- Trackers use their own stride and heart-rate models. Treat both as estimates that are useful for tracking trends rather than exact totals.

This calculator estimates stride from height, converts steps to distance, and applies a standard walking energy cost. It runs in your browser and stores nothing. Results are general fitness estimates, not medical or nutrition advice.
