About this calculator
Stride length scales with height — roughly 0.413 × height for women and 0.415 for men — which is why a fixed 2,000 steps per mile is only ever an approximation.

FAQ
How does the steps to miles & calories calculator work?
Stride length scales with height — roughly 0.413 × height for women and 0.415 for men — which is why a fixed 2,000 steps per mile is only ever an approximation. The underlying maths is: Miles = Steps × stride length (ft) ÷ 5,280.
What do I need to enter?
4 values: steps per day, height, weight, and stride basis. Each field starts with a sensible default, so you can change one number at a time and watch the result move.
What does the miles walked result mean?
It is returned as a decimal number and updates live as you edit the inputs, so you can compare two or three versions of a scenario in a few seconds.
Is this calculator free, and do I need an account?
Yes, it's free, and no account is required. Nothing you type is stored on our servers — the maths runs entirely in your browser.
How accurate is the result?
It applies the standard formula exactly, so the arithmetic is precise. Population formulas describe averages; individual bodies vary, especially at the extremes of height, age, or muscle mass.
Who is this tool for?
It's built for anyone tracking a health or training target and wanting the standard formula applied correctly, without a signup or an app.
Accuracy and limitations
- Population formulas describe averages; individual bodies vary, especially at the extremes of height, age, or muscle mass.
