Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the steps estimate?
The result is an estimate based on your height and selected stride type. For more accuracy, use the "Custom" stride option if you know your exact stride length.
What’s the average number of steps per kilometer?
It ranges from 1,250 to 1,550 steps depending on stride length. Taller individuals or runners typically take fewer steps per kilometer.
Can I use this for running?
Yes. Choose the "Running" stride type for an estimate based on running stride, which is generally longer than walking.

- Walking: ~42% of your height
- Running: ~45% of your height
Is this calculator useful with fitness trackers?
