| Steps | Weight | Activity | Time method | Distance | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 8500 | 72 kg | Walking | 45 minutes | ~6.1 km | ~190 kcal |
| 10000 | 80 kg | Jogging | Speed 9.0 km/h | ~7.5 km | ~520 kcal |
| 4500 | 60 kg | Stairs | Cadence 85 steps/min | Proxy only | ~220 kcal |

1 Distance
Distance (m) = Steps × Stride Length (m)
2 Time
If you provide speed: Time (h) = Distance (km) ÷ Speed (km/h). If you provide cadence: Time (min) = Steps ÷ Cadence.
3 Calories
Calories (kcal) = MET × Weight (kg) × Time (h). A small optional grade factor increases estimates on hills.

1) Why do I need weight?
Energy use scales with body mass. Two people taking the same steps can burn different calories because moving more mass costs more energy.
2) What is MET and why does it matter?
MET is an intensity marker. Higher MET values mean harder effort and more calories per minute. Auto MET uses your activity, intensity, and speed estimate.
3) I don’t know my stride length. What should I do?
Use height-based estimation, or measure a short walk: count 20 steps, measure distance, then divide distance by steps for stride length.
4) Which time mode is most accurate?
Duration is usually best if you tracked workout time. Speed is good for treadmill workouts. Cadence works if you know your steps per minute.
5) Why do my results differ from my wearable?
Wearables use sensors, heart rate, personal calibration, and proprietary models. This calculator uses standard stride and MET estimates, so small differences are expected.
6) Can I use this for stairs?
Yes. The tool uses a stair MET estimate and cadence to derive time. The distance shown is a simple proxy, since stair steps are vertical movement.
7) What does grade adjustment do?
Incline increases effort. Turning on grade adds a modest multiplier to calories. It is a simplified adjustment, not a lab-grade biomechanics model.
8) Is this a medical or diet prescription?
No. It provides fitness estimates only. For medical guidance or specific weight goals, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
