Speed, distance and time calculator

Calculate the speed, distance or time of a trip from the other two values.

Time = distance ÷ speed. Fill in the distance (km) and speed (km/h).

Interactive lesson: Speeding saves less time than you think Driving 50% faster on a 10-mile trip saves about 8 minutes. See the curve that undoes the rush.

How the calculation works

The three quantities relate by speed = distance ÷ time. Rearranged: distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Pick what to calculate and fill in the other two fields.

Examples

  • 240 km in 3 h: speed = 80 km/h.
  • At 60 km/h for 90 min: distance = 60 × 1.5 = 90 km.

Frequently asked questions

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

Divide by 3.6. E.g., 72 km/h ÷ 3.6 = 20 m/s.

Do the units need to match?

Yes. Speed in km/h needs time in hours and distance in km. Mixing units gives wrong results.

Average or instantaneous speed?

Average: total distance over total time, ignoring mid-trip stops and variations.
