    I found this calculator to be fairly helpful. It even gives references for the formulas it uses. Incline can significantly increase the calorie burn, but only if you don't hold on! This calculator agrees almost exactly with the treadmill I use, so much so that I think the treadmill may use the same equations.

    All walking/running estimators (including MFP) probably use the ASCM metabolic equations, as they are simple and reasonably accurate. So they should agree.

    Interesting. Good to know.
