How many calories does 10,000 steps burn?

It depends mostly on your weight and pace. For a 70 kg person walking at a moderate pace, 10,000 steps burns roughly 300 to 400 calories. Heavier people and faster paces burn more.

How does the calculation work?

Steps are converted to walking time using an average cadence for your pace, then calories are estimated with the formula kcal = MET × weight in kg × hours, where the MET value reflects how intense the walking is.

Enter your step count, body weight and walking pace, and this calculator estimates the calories you burned. It converts steps into walking time using a typical cadence for each pace, then applies the activity MET value.

Estimates vary with terrain, stride length and fitness, so treat the result as a useful guide rather than an exact figure. Everything is calculated in your browser.
