Miles to Steps

Convert miles into an estimate of steps based on stride length.

Enter values and convert.

Planning walking targets

If you set a distance target in miles but track steps with a wearable, converting miles to steps helps align goals. The calculator uses a stride length to convert distance to step count, so personal measurements will be more accurate than generic averages.

For many people a typical stride length falls between 60–90 cm, but variations are common. Use your device data or a simple measurement to estimate stride length and enter it into the tool for better matching between distance and step goals.

Using the result

The calculated steps are an estimate. Wearable devices use their own algorithms and sensors; compare results over a few walks to adjust your stride estimate and improve long-term accuracy for planning and tracking.
