Pace Calculator

Pace with transparent assumptions and a worked example.

Pace is time per unit distance, the inverse of speed. Enter decimal minutes: 5 minutes 30 seconds is 5.5 minutes, not 5.30. Choose which quantity to find; the result also shows both common pace units. This is a planning calculation, not training advice.

THE WORKING

How this calculator works

Pace is time per unit distance, the inverse of speed. Enter decimal minutes: 5 minutes 30 seconds is 5.5 minutes, not 5.30. Choose which quantity to find; the result also shows both common pace units. This is a planning calculation, not training advice.

The formula

Pace = minutes / distance
Time = pace × distance
Distance = minutes / pace

A quick example

5 km in 30 minutes gives a 6 min/km pace and a 10 km/h average speed.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the labeled values, using a decimal point for fractions.
  2. Check the units and assumptions.
  3. Calculate, review the result and copy it if needed.
