Estimates only — not medical advice.

How it works

Your stride length is estimated from your height and pace (about 0.41× height for walking). Distance = steps × stride ÷ inches per mile. We also estimate calories at roughly 0.04 per step.

Rule of thumb: about 2,000–2,500 steps make a mile for most people.
