Hydration needs change with body weight, activity, heat, and drink habits

This calculator starts with body weight, then adds water for activity, warmer temperatures, coffee, and alcohol. The result is shown in milliliters and 250 ml cups so it is easier to spread intake across the day.

Frequently asked questions

Is more water always better?

No. Kidney disease, heart failure, and low sodium risk can make excess fluid unsafe.

Does coffee always dehydrate you?

Regular coffee also contributes fluid, but this tool uses a conservative offset because caffeine can increase urine output for some people.

How should I handle exercise days?

Choose a higher activity level on sweaty days and consider electrolytes for long or intense sessions.
