Terms of Use

Last updated: July 2026

Here are the terms for this calorie calculator, in plain words. Using the site means accepting them; if that is not for you, please don't use it.

What it is

A free calculator that estimates calories burned walking, running or climbing stairs, and converts steps to distance. Use it for personal fitness at no cost.

Estimates, not measurements

Every calorie figure here is an estimate based on standard MET values and population averages. It is not a measurement of your actual energy use, which varies with fitness, terrain, incline and stride. Treat the numbers as a guide.

Not medical advice

Nothing here is medical, dietary or fitness advice. If you are planning weight loss, a new exercise routine or managing a health condition, speak to a doctor or qualified professional.

Fair use

Everyday use has no limits. Please don't hit the site with bots, copy it wholesale, overload it, or use it unlawfully, so it stays quick for others.

Ownership

The design, the code and the words here are ours. The underlying facts, like a moderate walk being about 3.5 METs, are everyone's to quote. Just don't reproduce the whole site as your own.

Links

We link to references. Click through and you leave for another operator's site, bound by their rules rather than ours.

Availability and liability

We offer the site as it is and as available, and features can change or pause with no notice. So far as the law allows there are no warranties, and we take no liability for losses from using it or from downtime.

Updates

These terms may be revised from time to time; the dated version on this page is always the current one.
