Quick answer: the speed formula

Speed = distance ÷ time. Running 10 km in 50 minutes is 12 km/h (7.46 mph), a pace of 5:00 per km. Rearranged, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed.

Overview of the Speed Calculator

The Speed Calculator solves the classic speed–distance–time triangle. Choose what you want to find and enter the other two. The result is shown as speed in km/h, mph, m/s, knots and ft/s; as distance in kilometres and miles; as time in hours, minutes and seconds; and as running pace per kilometre and per mile.

Use it for planning journeys, checking an average speed, working out a run or cycle pace, or converting between speed units. For converting speed units alone see the Units Conversion Calculator; for car trips see the Mileage Calculator.

How We Calculate Speed, Distance and Time

All inputs are converted to metres and seconds, solved, and converted back.

  1. Convert distance to metres, time to seconds and speed to m/s.
  2. Speed = distance ÷ time.
  3. Distance = speed × time.
  4. Time = distance ÷ speed (shown as h:mm:ss).
  5. Pace = seconds needed to cover one km (or mile) = 1,000 ÷ speed (or 1,609.344 ÷ speed).
v = d ÷ t   d = v × t   t = d ÷ v
km/h = m/s × 3.6   mph = m/s × 2.23694

Average Speed

Average speed is total distance divided by total time — not the average of two speeds. Driving 60 km at 30 km/h and then 60 km at 60 km/h takes 3 hours for 120 km, an average of 40 km/h, not 45.

Speed Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate speed?

Divide distance by time. 10 km in 50 minutes (0.833 hours) is 12 km/h.

How do I calculate distance from speed and time?

Multiply speed by time. At 100 mph for 2.5 hours you cover 250 miles.

How do I calculate time from speed and distance?

Divide distance by speed. 100 km at 60 km/h takes 1 hour 40 minutes.

How do I convert km/h to mph?

Multiply km/h by 0.621371. 100 km/h is 62.1 mph.

How do I convert m/s to km/h?

Multiply by 3.6. 10 m/s is 36 km/h.

What is running pace?

The time needed to cover a kilometre or mile, written as minutes:seconds. A 5:00 per km pace is 12 km/h.

What is a knot?

One nautical mile per hour, about 1.852 km/h or 1.151 mph, used at sea and in aviation.

How do I find average speed over a journey?

Divide the total distance by the total time, including stops if you want your overall average.

Can I enter time in hours, minutes and seconds?

Yes — use the three time boxes; any can be left blank.

Is my data stored?

No. Everything runs in your browser.
