Estimate gross calories burned while walking from your body weight, walking speed and duration.
The result uses standardized MET values and represents a population-level estimate rather than a direct measurement from metabolic testing.

For the same duration and body weight, higher walking speeds generally correspond to higher MET values and a larger estimated energy cost.
It estimates gross activity energy using MET values, so the figure includes resting energy during the walking period rather than subtracting it.
Wearables can use heart rate, motion sensors and proprietary algorithms, while this calculator uses standardized population-level MET values.
