About the Daily Water Intake
Staying properly hydrated affects your energy, concentration and health, yet most people have no idea how much they actually need. Requirements depend on your body weight and activity, not a one-size-fits-all "eight glasses" rule.
This Daily Water Intake calculator estimates how much water you should aim for each day based on your weight and activity, giving you a personal target that is more useful than a generic number.
How to use the Daily Water Intake
- Enter your weight.
- Add your activity level or exercise time.
- Choose metric or imperial units.
- See your estimated daily water target.
Key features of the Daily Water Intake

How the Daily Water Intake works
This calculator applies standard, peer-reviewed formulas used by health professionals and public-health bodies worldwide. Depending on the metric, that includes the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, NHS and CDC guidance, the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for metabolic rate, and the U.S. Navy method for body composition. Inputs are converted between metric and imperial units using exact factors so results are consistent whichever system you use.
All calculations are performed in your browser, so the health information you enter is never sent anywhere.
Tips & best practices
- You also get water from food and other drinks, so your target is total fluid, not just plain water.
- Increase intake in hot weather, during exercise and when unwell, when your body loses more fluid.
- Thirst and urine colour are handy real-world guides — pale straw usually means well hydrated.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on your body weight and activity rather than a fixed number. The calculator gives a personalised estimate; food and other drinks count toward the total.
