How It Works

Speed, distance and time are related by the formula: Speed = Distance ÷ Time. Given any two of the three values, this calculator finds the third. It supports miles per hour (mph), kilometres per hour (km/h) and metres per second (m/s), converting between them automatically.

The calculator is useful for journey planning, running pace calculations and physics problems. For journeys with multiple legs at different speeds, it calculates the correct average speed (total distance ÷ total time), which is not the same as the arithmetic mean of the speeds.

Example: Driving 150 miles in 2 hours 30 minutes

  1. Distance: 150 miles
  2. Time: 2.5 hours
  3. Speed: 150 ÷ 2.5 = 60 mph
  4. 60 mph = 96.56 km/h = 26.82 m/s
