How this calculator works
Walking uphill burns more calories because your body works against gravity. This tool provides an estimate based on your weight, walking speed, incline, and duration.
- Weight: heavier body weight increases energy use.
- Speed: faster walking increases intensity.
- Incline: steeper hills increase effort significantly.
- Duration: more time = more total calories.
FAQ
Does walking uphill burn more calories than flat walking?
Yes. Incline increases the work your muscles need to do, so calorie burn rises compared to walking on flat ground at the same speed.
How accurate is this result?
It’s an estimate. Real calorie burn varies with fitness level, terrain, stride efficiency, and more. Use it for planning and comparison, not medical decisions.
What incline should I use?
Use the treadmill grade (if applicable), or an approximate hill grade in percent. For reference, 5–10% feels like a solid hill for most people.
