Estimates use standard MET values — real burn varies with fitness, technique, and rest breaks. Treat it as a guide, not a measurement.

Burn FAQ

How many calories does jump rope burn?

Using standard MET values, a 70 kg person burns roughly 11–15 kcal per minute skipping — about 170–220 kcal in a 15-minute session depending on pace. Heavier bodies and faster paces burn more.

Does jump rope burn more calories than running?

Minute for minute, moderate-to-fast rope jumping (METs 11.8–12.3) is comparable to running at about 11–12 km/h. Most people find it easier to sustain intensity with a rope because the skill keeps you engaged.

How accurate is this calculator?

It uses the Compendium of Physical Activities MET values, the same basis most fitness trackers use. Individual burn varies with fitness level, technique, and how much you rest between sets — treat the number as a guide.
