Calculate calories burned from a walk, using your actual pace (derived from distance and time) to select a more accurate MET value than a generic flat estimate.

Walking's metabolic demand varies meaningfully with speed, a slow stroll and brisk power walking are quite different in energy cost, even over the same distance and duration category. This calculator first works out your average speed from the distance and time you provide, then selects a MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value that matches that specific pace: roughly 2.0 for under 2 mph, 2.8 for 2-3 mph, 3.5 for 3-4 mph, 5.0 for 4-4.5 mph, and 7.0 for brisk power walking above 4.5 mph.
Our general Calories Burned Calculator applies one fixed MET value to 'walking' regardless of how fast you actually walked, since it's built for quickly comparing many different activity types. This calculator is purpose-built for walking specifically, deriving your actual pace from distance and time so the MET value, and therefore the calorie estimate, reflects your real effort rather than an average assumption.
Deriving your speed from the distance you actually walked and the time it took gives a more precise result than picking from a rough pace category, and it's usually easier to know how far you walked and how long it took than to know your exact pace.
No, this calculator assumes flat, level walking. Walking uphill, on sand, or on other challenging terrain burns more calories than the flat-ground MET values used here suggest.
Yes, for walking specifically, since it adjusts the MET value to your actual measured pace rather than using one fixed value for all walking regardless of speed.
