Step Calorie Estimator - Calories Burned by Walking | Solvezi
Accurate calculation based on your profile and activity factors.
100.0% Complete
This calculator estimates calories burned, distance covered, and time spent walking based on your step count, weight, height, gender, and walking speed. It uses scientifically validated formulas to provide accurate estimates.
The tool uses your height and gender to estimate stride length. Distance is calculated by multiplying steps by stride length. Calories are then estimated based on distance, weight, and metabolic equivalents (METs).
Calories burned = Steps × 0.04 × (Weight in kg ÷ 70) × Gender Factor × Speed Factor • Gender Factor: Male=1.0, Female=0.95 • Speed Factor: Slow=0.85, Moderate=1.0, Fast=1.2
Heavier individuals burn more calories per step because it takes more energy to move a larger body mass. The calculation accounts for this through the weight adjustment factor.
Taller people generally have longer strides, covering more distance per step. Stride length is calculated as: Height (cm) × 0.415 for males, × 0.413 for females.
Faster walking increases calorie burn significantly. This calculator adjusts for walking speed: • Slow: Casual stroll (3-4 km/h) • Moderate: Brisk walk (5 km/h) • Fast: Power walk (6+ km/h)
Men typically burn more calories than women due to higher muscle mass and different metabolic rates. The calculator applies a 5% reduction factor for females.
10,000 steps/day is a common goal, but any increase from your baseline helps. Benefits include: • Improved cardiovascular health • Weight management • Better mental health • Reduced disease risk
Regular walking can help: • Lower blood pressure • Improve cholesterol levels • Reduce diabetes risk by 30% • Decrease depression symptoms • Increase lifespan by 3-7 years
Time is calculated assuming average walking speed of 5 km/h for moderate pace. This adjusts based on your selected speed setting. Time = Distance ÷ Speed × 60
1 kilometer = 0.621371 miles 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers The tool automatically converts between units based on your preference.
The progress bar shows how close you are to your daily step goal. The comparison chart helps visualize calorie burn at different step milestones (5k, 10k, your current steps).
The bar chart compares calorie burn at different step counts. This helps you understand how increasing your daily steps can significantly impact calorie expenditure.
Walking 10,000 steps/day can burn 300-500 calories, potentially leading to 0.5-1 kg weight loss per month when combined with a healthy diet.
Regular walking improves: • Memory and learning • Creativity and problem-solving • Focus and concentration • Mood regulation • Sleep quality
