How Much Water Should I Drink Per Day?

Daily water intake varies based on body weight, activity level, climate, and gender. The general recommendation is 30-35ml per kg of body weight, but this increases with exercise and hot weather. Our water intake calculator provides personalized recommendations.

Water Intake Calculation Formula

Our calculator uses the following methodology:

  • Base amount: 30-35ml per kg of body weight (varies by gender)
  • Activity multiplier: +500ml to +1500ml based on exercise intensity
  • Climate adjustment: +500ml to +1000ml for hot weather
  • Gender difference: Males typically need 10-15% more water
