Formula

Step length (m) ≈ 0.414 × height (m). Distance (km) = steps × step length ÷ 1000. Miles = km × 0.621371. Calories ≈ steps × 0.04 kcal (average for moderate walking).

Worked example

10,000 steps at 170 cm height. Click Calculate. Step length ≈ 0.70 m, distance ≈ 7.04 km (4.37 miles), calories ≈ 400 kcal. So the famous 10k steps is roughly a 7 km walk for an average-height adult. Taller walkers cover more ground per step, so entering your real height keeps the estimate honest.
