A jump rope calorie calculator estimates the energy skipping uses, based on your weight, the intensity (its MET value) and the time or jump count. Jump rope is one of the most efficient calorie-burners, around 9–12 METs.
How jump rope calories are calculated
Calories ≈ MET × weight (kg) × active time (hours)
Active time (jumps mode) ≈ jumps ÷ cadence
A 70 kg person skipping at a moderate pace for 15 minutes (about 11.8 METs) burns roughly 207 calories — close to 14 calories a minute, on par with running.

Why jump rope burns so many calories
Skipping uses your whole body continuously and keeps your heart rate high, so it packs a big burn into a short time. It’s also great for coordination and bone density — but it’s high-impact, so ease in and rest between rounds.
