Walking Pace Calculator

Enter how far you walked and how long it took, and this calculator returns both your pace (minutes per mile or kilometer) and your speed (mph or km/h).

Pace and Speed Explained

Pace is the time to cover one unit of distance, while speed is the distance covered per unit of time. They describe the same effort in inverse ways, and this tool shows you both at once.

What Is a Good Walking Pace

An average walking pace is about 3 mph (20 minutes per mile), while a brisk fitness-walking pace is around 4 mph (15 minutes per mile), enough to raise your heart rate for health benefits.
