Enter the total number of steps taken and the hours over which they were taken into the calculator to determine the steps per hour. This calculator helps to evaluate your walking or running pace.

Steps Per Hour Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the steps per hour.

SPH = Total Steps / Hours

Variables:

  • SPH is the steps per hour
  • Total Steps is the total number of steps taken
  • Hours is the total time in hours over which the steps were taken

To calculate steps per hour, divide the total number of steps taken by the total time in hours.

What is Steps Per Hour?

Steps per hour is a measure of the pace at which a person walks or runs. It is a useful metric for individuals who are tracking their physical activity levels, particularly for those aiming to increase their daily step count or monitor their walking or running speed over a set period of time.
