How Many Calories Does Walking Burn
Enter your weight, how many minutes you walked, and your pace — the calculator will figure out calories burned and distance covered.
How it's calculated
Burn = MET × weight (kg) × time (h). MET shows how many times more energy an activity uses compared to rest. Values are from the Compendium of Physical Activities (2011): 2.8 MET at 3.2 km/h, 3.0 at 4 km/h, 3.5 at 4.8 km/h, 4.3 at 5.6 km/h, 5.0 at 6.4 km/h, and 5.3 uphill with a 1–5% incline.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories does an hour of walking burn?
A 70 kg person walking at a moderate pace (about 5 km/h) burns around 245 kcal per hour, and at a brisk pace (6.4 km/h) — about 350 kcal.
Which is better: walking or running?
Running burns more calories per minute, but walking is easier to do daily and for longer periods. For weight loss, consistency and an overall calorie deficit matter most.
Does walking help you lose weight?
Yes, if you move more and watch your diet. 30–60 minutes of brisk walking a day burns 150–350 kcal.
This calculates total burn, including resting energy during that time.
