Step Distance Calculator
Convert a step count into distance using an estimated stride length.
The result is the estimated distance covered, shown in kilometres with the equivalent in metres in parentheses.
Formula
Distance equals steps multiplied by stride length, converted from centimetres to kilometres.
How it works
Each step is assumed to cover the stride length you enter, and the total is converted to kilometres. Real stride varies with speed, height and terrain, so use your own measured stride for better results.
Worked example
For example, 10,000 steps × 75 cm = 750,000 cm, which is 7.50 km (7,500 m).
FAQs
How do I find my stride?
Walk 10 steps, measure the distance, divide by 10.
Is stride the same as step length?
Step length is one step; stride is often two steps, so check what your device means.
Does height set stride?
Roughly, taller people stride longer, but speed changes it too.
