Formula explanation

How this calculator works

Core formula

daily water = body weight adjustment + exercise adjustment

The calculator uses body weight as the base hydration estimate and adds an extra allowance for the time you spend exercising each day.

  • This is a lifestyle estimate, not a medical prescription.
  • Heat, illness, sweat rate, and diet can all increase or decrease your real hydration needs.
