Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about steps, distance, and calories

How do you estimate my step length?
Step length is estimated from your height using the Hoeger et al. formula: about 0.415 × height for men and 0.413 × height for women. Taller people naturally cover more ground per step, so the same step count covers more distance.
How many steps are in a kilometre or mile?
For an average adult, roughly 1,250–1,500 steps per kilometre and 2,000–2,400 steps per mile, depending on height. This calculator computes the exact value from your height.
Is 10,000 steps a day a good goal?
It's a popular and reasonable general target, but studies show meaningful health benefits from as few as 6,000–8,000 steps. Your ideal goal depends on your current activity, fitness, and health status.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser. Your height, weight, and step data never leave your device.
