How is your step count estimated?
5,000 steps/day is a rough sedentary-to-moderately-active average; confidence is low. Activity, job type, and height surveys can change the rate significantly.

Core formula
result = seconds lived × (daily rate ÷ 86,400)
86,400 is seconds in one day. The daily rate is divided by that to get a per-second pace; multiplied by seconds since birth it yields total accumulation.
Step by step
- 01
Calculate life seconds
Time from birth date to today is converted to seconds.
- 02
Assume 5,000 steps/day
Daily steps are divided by 86,400 seconds and enter the accumulation formula.
- 03
Apply movement profile
Desk vs. active job, daily activity, and height rescale daily steps.
Reference rates
5,000 steps/day — high uncertainty; large deviation per person.

What it means
Step estimates are made without a phone sensor; the number is for curiosity, not fitness tracking.
