Water Intake Calculator

Calculate your personalized daily water intake target based on your body weight, activity level, climate, and exercise habits.

About Water Intake Calculator

Proper hydration is essential for energy, focus, and overall health. This calculator estimates your daily water needs by starting with a base of 30-35 ml per kg of body weight, then adjusting for your activity level, climate conditions, and exercise duration. The result is a personalized hydration target in milliliters, liters, cups, and fluid ounces.

Weight-Based Formula

Base hydration is calculated at 30-35 ml per kilogram of body weight, then adjusted for your specific lifestyle factors.

Activity & Climate Adjustments

Exercise adds 350-700 ml per 30 minutes depending on intensity. Hot and humid climates increase needs; cold reduces thirst cues.

Multiple Unit Display

See your target in milliliters, liters, US cups, and fluid ounces — whichever measurement you're most comfortable with.

Food Contribution

About 20% of your daily water intake typically comes from food. This is factored into the recommendations.
