How It Works

The calculator starts from a baseline of about 35 ml of water per kilogram of body weight, which scales your needs to your size. It then adds extra fluid for every block of exercise to replace what you lose through sweat, and increases the total in hot or humid conditions where you perspire more. The result is shown in liters, cups, and ounces so you can track it whichever way is easiest.

Formula

Base = Weight (kg) × 35 ml
+ 350 ml per 30 min exercise
+ 10% for hot climates

Frequently Asked Questions

How much water should I drink a day?

A common guideline is about 35 ml per kg of body weight, plus extra for exercise and hot weather. For a 70 kg person, that's roughly 2.5 liters (about 10 cups) per day.

Does coffee and tea count toward water intake?

Yes, in moderation. Beverages and water-rich foods contribute to hydration. However, plain water is the best and calorie-free choice for most of your intake.
