Optional personalization
Enter your height and sex for a more personalized estimate, or enter your own measured step length for the most accurate result.
Used to estimate your step length — an approximation, not a precise measurement.
Adjusts the estimate slightly, since the step-length convention used here applies a different coefficient by sex. If you'd rather not specify, we'll use an averaged coefficient (approximately 0.414) instead.
If you know your actual step length, enter it here. This overrides the height-based estimate and gives you the most accurate result the calculator can offer.

a general range
30,000 steps is roughly 12.00–15.00 miles for most adults. The exact distance depends on your step length — enter your height or measured step length above for a closer estimate.
Your actual distance depends on your step length, so personalizing with your height or measured step length below will give you a closer number.
