Estimate how much water to drink each day based on your weight, daily exercise and climate. The result is shown in liters, milliliters and 250 ml cups. It is a general guide, not medical advice, and runs entirely in your browser.
How to use
- Choose units and enter your weight.
- Add your typical daily exercise in minutes and pick your climate.
- Read your estimated daily water target.
How it works
The base estimate is about 33 ml of water per kilogram of body weight. Exercise adds roughly 350 ml for every 30 minutes of activity, since you lose fluid through sweat. A hot climate increases the total a little and a cold one slightly less. The result is a starting point, not a strict rule.
