Speed, Distance & Time Formulas

Find Speed

S = D ÷ T

Find Distance

D = S × T

Find Time

T = D ÷ S

Frequently Asked Questions

Speed equals distance divided by time (S = D/T). For example, if you travel 120 miles in 2 hours, your speed is 120 ÷ 2 = 60 mph. Enter your distance and time in our calculator for instant results in multiple units.
Use the formula Time = Distance ÷ Speed. For example, a 300-mile trip at 60 mph takes 300 ÷ 60 = 5 hours. Our calculator handles unit conversions automatically and shows results in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Multiply mph by 1.60934 to get km/h. For example, 60 mph × 1.60934 = 96.56 km/h. Our calculator shows results in both units automatically.
Distance equals speed multiplied by time (D = S × T). For example, traveling at 65 mph for 3 hours covers 65 × 3 = 195 miles.
Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction). For everyday calculations like travel time, speed and velocity are used interchangeably. This calculator works with speed values.
