I'm looking for a reasonable calorie burn calculator on-line for my computer. One that is fairly accurate for time, distance, and speed calculations.

    Calories per mile = 0.3*bodyweight in lbs

    ^^^ This is correct for walking.

    Runtastic app will also do this for you if you're unsure of the distance.

    I don't have a smart phone. I was looking for something on the computer. Also speed of walk needs to be calculated doesn't it??

    Calorie burns are primarily in relation to distance covered not the speed.
    Unless you are getting into speed walking territory then the efficiency ratio of normal walking doesn't vary enough to have major significance.

    Hills / incline will have an impact of course.

    No. While the difference between running and walking makes a difference, speeds within this ranges don't have a big enough impact to worry about
