Hydration Calculator

Calculate your daily water intake to maintain optimal health

💧 Calculate Water Needs
About Hydration Calculator

The Hydration Calculator is an advanced health tool that helps you accurately determine your daily water needs based on several important factors including your weight, physical activity level, and the climate you live in. Water is essential for life and makes up about 60% of body weight, playing a vital role in all bodily functions.

Getting adequate water daily is crucial for body and mind health. Water helps regulate body temperature, transport nutrients to cells, remove toxins, lubricate joints, support digestion, and improve brain function and concentration. Water deficiency can lead to dehydration, headaches, fatigue, and poor physical and mental performance.

Our Hydration Calculator uses an accurate scientific formula starting from the basic baseline (35ml per kilogram of body weight), then adjusts this amount based on your activity level and climate. People who exercise regularly need more water to compensate for what they lose through sweat, as do people living in hot climates. Use this calculator to set your daily water intake goal and maintain your health and vitality.
