Water Intake Calculator
How it works
Common formulas use weight (e.g. 30–35 ml per kg) and an activity factor. We apply a simple multiplier and show the result in your preferred unit.
When to use it
Use it as a reminder to drink enough. Increase in heat or exercise. Consult a doctor if you have conditions that affect fluid needs.
Frequently asked questions
Does this include food moisture?
Many guidelines count all fluids. We show total recommended intake; food contributes to that.
What about athletes?
We include an activity factor. For heavy training you may need more; adjust by thirst and urine color.
