What is an Erg Pace Calculator?
An erg pace calculator helps rowers determine their split time (time per 500m), total distance, or total time based on known values. It also calculates watts and estimated calories burned — essential metrics for tracking performance on Concept2 rowing machines and other ergometers.
Key Formulas:
Split = (Total Time ÷ Distance) × 500
Watts = 2.8 ÷ (Split/500)³
Calories = Watts × Time (hours) × 4.0 (approx)
How to Use This Calculator
- Calculate Distance: Enter your split time and total time to find out how far you've rowed
- Calculate Split: Enter distance and total time to find your pace per 500m
- Calculate Total Time: Enter distance and split time to see your predicted finish time
- All modes automatically calculate watts, calories, speed, and pace per km
Understanding Your Results
- Split / 500m: Your pace per 500 meters — lower is faster
- Watts: Power output — higher indicates more power
- Calories: Estimated calories burned (rough approximation)
- Speed: Average speed in meters per second
- Pace per km: Your pace per kilometre for running equivalents

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a good split time? — Beginners: 2:30-3:00, Intermediate: 2:00-2:30, Advanced: 1:30-2:00, Elite: under 1:30
- How accurate are the calorie calculations? — They provide a reasonable estimate based on watts and time. Actual calories vary by individual efficiency.
- What's the difference between split and pace? — Split is time per 500m; pace can be per 500m or per km. This calculator shows both.
- Does this work for Concept2 rowers? — Yes, the formulas are based on Concept2's standard calculations.
