How it works

A walkthrough, end to end.

  1. 1

    Pick which variable to solve for: speed, distance, or time.

  2. 2

    Enter the other two with units.

  3. 3

    See the result in your chosen unit, plus conversions to mph, km/h, m/s, and knots.

Reference

Speed equation

Speed = distance / time. Equivalently, distance = speed × time, time = distance / speed.

Running pace

Translate min/mile or min/km to mph or km/h.

Cycling speed

Compute average over a route.

Boat / aviation

Convert knots to mph or km/h.

Physics homework

FAQ

Frequently asked.

  • Distance: mi or km. Time: hours, minutes, or seconds. Speed converts between four units.

  • This is for average over the interval, not instantaneous.

  • No. All math runs in your browser.

  • 1 knot = 1.852 km/h = 1.151 mph.
