How to Use This Calculator

Enter your steps and weight. The 10,000-step target equates to roughly 400-500 kcal for most people โ€” a solid daily activity baseline.

  • Calories depend on weight, speed and terrain; treat the result as an estimate.
  • Running burns more per step than walking at the same distance.
