How to Use the Walking Calorie Calculator
This tool estimates calories burned during walking using your weight, speed, and duration. All values must be in metric units (kg and km/h).
- Enter your weight in kilograms (e.g., 70).
- Select your walking speed from the dropdown (options range from slow to very brisk).
- Enter the duration in minutes (e.g., 30).
- Click "Calculate Calories" to see the result.
The result shows estimated calories burned (kcal) based on the formula: MET × weight (kg) × duration (hours). MET values vary by speed (2.0 for slow to 5.0 for very brisk).
Tip: Use a scale for weight and a timer for accurate duration.

Frequently Asked Questions
The calculator uses MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values which are standard estimates. Actual calories burned can vary based on individual factors like metabolism and walking efficiency.
MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task. It's a measure of the energy cost of physical activities. For walking, MET values range from 2.0 (slow) to 5.0 (very brisk).
No, this calculator is specifically for walking. Running has different MET values and would require a different calculator.
