The amount of water you should drink per day can be easily calculated from your weight. The calculator above calculates your daily water intake in the same way. Additionally, the daily water intake calculator above provides results in commonly used cup sizes of 250 mL or 8 fl oz.

What ‘water’ means here

One thing to keep in mind is that ‘water’ here is pure water, not beverages such as juice or coffee. Drinks containing caffeine, especially coffee and tea, are not suitable for hydrating the body because they have diuretic properties that promote the excretion of urine. If you regularly drink caffeinated beverages, it’s a good idea to drink a little more water than your daily water intake calculated using the calculator above.

Sodium intake issues

If you enjoy salty foods, you are likely exceeding the WHO recommended 2,000 mg daily sodium intake. The more salt you eat, the more fluid you need. Additionally, if you sweat in hot weather or outside activities, it’s a good idea to drink more water than the recommended daily water intake from the calculator above.
