How many steps per day to hit an annual step goal?
Do you have a goal of hitting a certain number of steps per year? Calculate steps, miles, and hours per day, week, and month to hit an annual step goal.
In January 2023 I set out to reach 5,000,000 steps in a year. I had to take 13,699 steps per day to reach that goal — or so I thought. The truth was more complex, but you can read my story of hitting 5 million steps another day.
If you're interested in hitting an annualized step goal, you can use the calculator below to figure out how many steps you'll need to take every day, every week, and every month of the year (assuming it's not a leap year). Good luck, and get stepping!
