Q. What do I need to enter?
Enter Speed (km/h). The result recalculates as you type, and an empty box counts as zero.
Q. How much does the answer move if I change a number?
Changing only Speed (km/h) moves the answer to Speed (km/h) 5 → Pace (min/km) 12 and Speed (km/h) 20 → Pace (min/km) 3. The table below lays out five steps.
Q. How are the numbers rounded?
Money is shown to the nearest whole unit, percentages to one decimal place and everything else to two. What you see is rounded; the calculation itself carries the unrounded value forward.
