Can I use different units?

Yes, you can input values in different units (e.g., distance in kilometers, time in hours) and the result will be calculated accordingly. Be sure to note the units of your result.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

In physics, speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction). This calculator computes average speed.

How can this help with travel?

If you know how far you need to drive and your average speed, you can calculate exactly how long the trip will take, helping you plan your departure time.

Speed Calculator

Calculate speed, distance, time

How to Use

Enter the distance traveled in kilometers
Enter the time taken in hours (use decimals for partial hours)
Click "Calculate Speed" to see the result
View the speed in both km/h and mph
Example: 100 km in 2 hours = 50 km/h average speed
Tip: For minutes, convert to hours (e.g., 30 min = 0.5 hours)

About This Tool

Calculate speed instantly using the fundamental physics formula: Speed = Distance ÷ Time. Perfect for trip planning, understanding average speeds, analyzing running or cycling performance, solving physics problems, or satisfying curiosity about travel times. The calculator provides results in both kilometers per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph), making it useful regardless of which measurement system you prefer. Whether you're planning a road trip, analyzing your workout pace, helping students with homework, or estimating travel times, this calculator performs accurate speed calculations based on your distance and time inputs.

what is Speed Calculator

Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance. Whether you are a runner tracking your pace, a driver planning a road trip, or a physics student solving for velocity, our Speed Calculator is the perfect tool. It simplifies the relationship between Speed, Distance, and Time.

To use the tool, you need to know two of the three variables. Select what you want to calculate: Speed, Distance, or Time. Then, enter the two known values. For example, to find Speed, enter the Distance traveled and the Time it took. The calculator will instantly provide the missing value.

We support a wide range of units. You can input distance in miles, kilometers, meters, or feet, and time in hours, minutes, or seconds. The results are automatically converted to standard units like mph (miles per hour) or km/h (kilometers per hour).

This tool is invaluable for planning travel. If you know you need to drive 300 miles and can average 60 mph, you can easily calculate that the trip will take 5 hours. It's also great for athletes analyzing their performance.

No more complex algebra. Just enter the numbers and get the answer instantly.

Key Benefits:

Calculate Speed, Distance, or Time
Supports multiple units (mph, km/h, m/s, etc.)
Perfect for travel planning and logistics
Great for runners and cyclists tracking pace
Solves physics problems instantly
