Walking Calories Calculator

Estimate calories burned while walking.

Introduction

Walking Calories Calculator — Estimate calories burned while walking. Enter Weight (kg), Duration (minutes), MET (walking ~3.5) to get an instant, accurate result.

Formula

Uses the standard MET formula (calories/min = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) / 200) with a walking MET value of about 3.5, per the Ainsworth Compendium.

Step-by-step

  1. Enter the Weight (kg).
  2. Enter the Duration (minutes).
  3. Enter the MET (walking ~3.5).
  4. Click Calculate to see your result instantly.

Real-world example

Example: With Weight (kg) = 70, Duration (minutes) = 30, MET (walking ~3.5) = 3.5, the Walking Calories Calculator gives Kcal Per Min: 4.2875, Total Kcal: 128.625.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does walking speed change the calorie estimate?
Walking MET values increase with pace — brisk walking burns more per minute than a leisurely stroll, so faster walking yields a higher MET and higher calorie burn.
Is walking an effective way to burn calories?
Yes, especially when done consistently — walking is low-impact and sustainable, making it easier to maintain long-term compared to higher-intensity activities.
What inputs does the Walking Calories Calculator need?
You'll need to provide: Weight (kg), Duration (minutes), MET (walking ~3.5). All fields use sensible defaults, so you can see a working example immediately and then adjust the values to match your own numbers.
How accurate is the Walking Calories Calculator?
The Walking Calories Calculator applies the formula exactly as calculated — Uses the standard MET formula (calories/min = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) / 200) with a walking MET value of about 3.5, per the Ainsworth Compendium. — so results are precise for the inputs you provide. Accuracy depends on entering correct, realistic input values.
Is this a medical diagnosis?
No. The Walking Calories Calculator provides an estimate based on standard formulas and general population data, not a medical diagnosis or personalized clinical advice. Individual results can vary — consult a doctor or other qualified healthcare provider for medical concerns.
Is the Walking Calories Calculator free to use?
Yes, the Walking Calories Calculator is completely free, requires no signup, and runs instantly in your browser.
