Switch between pounds and kilograms, then adjust for how active you are and how hot your climate tends to be.
How to think about your water target
Hydration needs vary more than most simple rules suggest. Body size matters, but so do climate, daily movement, workouts, and how much time you spend sweating.
This calculator starts with a body-weight estimate, then adds extra fluid for activity and heat. That makes it more practical than a flat eight-glasses rule, especially if your days are more active than average.
Your exact needs can still change from day to day. Use this result as a steady starting point, then adjust based on thirst, urine color, workout intensity, and advice from a healthcare professional if you have a medical condition that affects hydration.
