How to use this tool?
This calculator estimates calories burned while walking or running on a treadmill. It uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent) formula based on your weight, speed, duration, and incline.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Enter your weight in kilograms (kg). Example: 70
- Enter your treadmill speed in kilometers per hour (km/h). Example: 8
- Enter the duration of your workout in minutes. Example: 30
- Enter the incline percentage (0% for flat, up to 30%). Example: 0
- Click the Calculate button.
Understanding the Result
- The result shows the total calories burned (rounded to two decimals).
- Below the result, you'll see the formula breakdown:
MET × weight (kg) × duration (hours). - MET is calculated as:
(speed × 0.1 + incline × 0.09 + 3.5) / 3.5.
Important Notes
- All inputs must be in metric units (kg, km/h, minutes).
- Weight must be greater than 0; speed and duration must be positive numbers.
- Incline must be between 0% and 30% (use 0 for no incline).
- If you see an error message, check your inputs and try again.

Frequently Asked Questions
This calculator uses the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula, which provides a reasonable estimate. Actual calories burned may vary based on individual factors like metabolism and running efficiency.
MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task. It is a measure of the energy cost of physical activities. The formula used here is a standard approximation for treadmill exercise.
Yes, the formula works for both walking and running speeds. However, for very low speeds (below 3 km/h), the estimate may be less accurate.
