Enter values above and click Calculate — results will appear here with the formula explained.

Calories ≈ 1 kcal/kg/km * weight * distance (running ~1, walking 0.5)

How does this work?

Running costs about 1 kcal per kg per km. Multiply weight times distance for calories. Pace affects slightly but distance dominates.

This is estimate; hills, wind and efficiency vary ±10%.

For YMYL decisions, verify with authoritative sources (CFPB, IRS, WHO, or a licensed professional) and run conservative vs optimistic scenarios. This tool is educational, not professional advice — it assumes constant inputs and excludes fees, taxes and variability that affect real outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

QRunning vs walking?

Running ~1 kcal/kg/km, walking ~0.5. Running costs double.

QDoes pace matter?

Slightly; faster costs a bit more per km due to air drag, but distance dominates.

QNet vs gross?

This is gross including resting metabolism. Net subtract ~1 kcal/kg/hour resting.
