How is calories burned calculated?

The Calories Burned Calculator substitutes your inputs (MET, Weight (kg), Minutes) into the standard expression: Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Minutes ÷ 60. Every variable is read straight from the fields on this page, and the result is computed the moment you enter the values.

1. 1

   Step 1

   Enter your weight, height, and age as required.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Click the "Calculate" button to see the result instantly.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Review the result and details below before relying on it.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Review the breakdown: the result repeats the page's own expression (Calories = MET × Weight (kg) × Minutes ÷ 60) with your values substituted, so each variable stays traceable.

5. 5

   Step 5

   Compare scenarios by varying a single value per run in the calories burned calculator — that isolates which of the formula's inputs actually drives the result.

• 1

  The Calories Burned Calculator needs every variable in consistent units — MET, Weight (kg), Minutes — before the standard formula returns a valid result, so check each field's unit before entering values copied from elsewhere.

• 2

  For repeated what-if work on Calories Burned, change one input at a time and note the effect; that isolates which variable actually drives the result instead of moving several values at once and losing the attribution.

• 3

  Enter values in the units the Calories Burned fields expect — MET, Weight (kg), Minutes and the rest; mismatched units are the most common way a correct formula yields a wrong number no calculator can detect.

• Percentage conventions differ by field: some Calories Burned inputs expect weight (kg) as a whole number (5 for 5%), others as a decimal (0.05). The two forms are off by ×100 — match the field's label or example.

• MET and Weight (kg) must be entered in one consistent unit system: months against years skews the Calories Burned result silently. Convert every input to the unit named on its field first.
