Water Intake Calculator: how much water should I drink?

Get a daily water target based on your weight and how much you exercise.

For general information only, not medical advice. Speak to your GP, midwife or a health professional about your own health.

How it works

A common guide is about 30–35 ml per kg of body weight, plus around 0.5 litres for every 30 minutes of exercise.

The NHS suggests 6–8 glasses of fluid a day; tea, coffee and food all count towards it.

Frequently asked questions

Can you drink too much water?+

Yes, though it's rare. Drink to thirst and drink more in hot weather or when exercising.
