Calories Burned Calculator
Estimate calories burned for an activity from its MET value, your weight and time.
Estimate the calories you burned during an activity from its MET value, your body weight and the duration. Pick an activity — walking, running, cycling, swimming and more — enter your weight and minutes, and the tool applies the standard MET formula. Heavier bodies and higher-intensity activities burn more.
These figures are estimates; real burn varies with fitness, effort and individual metabolism.
Frequently asked questions
How are calories burned calculated?
Using the formula calories = MET × 3.5 × weight(kg) ÷ 200 × minutes, where MET reflects the activity's intensity.
What is a MET value?
A Metabolic Equivalent — how many times more energy an activity uses than sitting still. Running is about 10 METs; walking about 3.5.
Why does weight affect calories burned?
Moving a heavier body takes more energy, so the same activity burns more calories for a heavier person.
How accurate is it?
It is a solid estimate, but individual burn varies with fitness, terrain and effort. Use it for comparison rather than exact numbers.
