Hydration affects performance, focus and recovery. This calculator estimates a daily water target from your bodyweight plus a bonus for how active you are.

How it's calculated

Enter your weight and activity level. The base is ~35 ml per kg of bodyweight, plus 0–1000 ml depending on activity. The result is shown in litres, millilitres and roughly-240 ml cups.

ml = bodyweight(kg) × 35 + activity bonus

How to read your result

This is a baseline, not a hard rule — heat, sweat rate and diet all shift your needs. A simple field check: pale-straw urine usually means you're well hydrated.

Frequently asked questions

Does coffee or tea count?
Yes — fluids from drinks and water-rich foods all contribute. The target is total daily fluid, not plain water only.
Can you drink too much water?
Rarely, but chugging far beyond your needs in a short time can dilute sodium. Spread intake across the day.
Should I drink more on training days?
Yes — that's what the activity bonus accounts for. Add extra to replace heavy sweat losses in hot sessions.
