Daily Water Intake Calculator

Work out how much water you should drink each day, including before and after surgery.

How it is calculated

The base amount is 33 ml per kg of body weight. We add 350 ml for every 30 minutes of exercise, 0.5 litres for a hot climate and 0.7 litres for breastfeeding. About 20% of your daily water comes from food, so this is a target for drinks.
