Walking and Screen Time Calculators
Put scrolling and walking in the same unit. Every calculator works out the default answer before you touch it, shows the formula, and links the research behind each number.
Screen Time to Steps Calculator
Your daily screen time as steps, miles and km, per day, week and year. Pick how much of it you would trade for a walk.
1 hour of screen time ≈ 6,000 steps

The calculators share a few assumptions. About 100 steps a minute is the research rule of thumb for moderate-intensity walking, and StepGate uses the same figure to show steps left as a walk. Distance defaults to a 0.762 m (2.5 ft) step, the estimate StepGate uses when Apple Health has no distance. Every page explains where its numbers come from and how far to trust them.
