    I'm not sure how you calculate it by step but there is a cadio option on the fitness calculator for jogging or running up stairs.
    Maybe there is one for walking as well!

    If you can afford it maybe get a Garmin Forerunner 305 they are on Amazon for around $130. It comes with a heart rate monitor and the watch is gps so it tracks how far you have went and at what pace and calculates how many calories you burned, also can get a little attachment to put on your shoe for treadmill use when inside and cant get gps signal. That keeps track of your distance and pace as well.
