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.

The calculator above is pre-filled with 4,000 steps. Personalize it with your height, sex, or measured step length for a single estimate instead of a range.
4,000 steps sits between a short errand-length walk and a more substantial outing — roughly 40% of the commonly cited 10,000-step daily benchmark.
