Water Intake Calculator






How Daily Water Intake Is Calculated

Daily water needs vary depending on age, gender, body size, and activity level. Children require more water per kilogram of body weight than adults.

Base formula:

Water (ml/day) = Body Weight (kg) × Age-based factor

  • Age 1–3: 100 ml/kg
  • Age 4–8: 75 ml/kg
  • Age 9–13: 50 ml/kg
  • Age 14+: 35 ml/kg (male), 30 ml/kg (female)

Activity adjustment:

  • Low: +0%
  • Moderate: +10%
  • High: +20%

US units:

  • 1 cup = 240 ml
  • 1 fl oz = 29.57 ml
