Hydration Calculator

Calculate your precise daily water intake based on your body weight, activity level, climate and training โ€” with a personalised hourly drinking schedule.

Why hydration matters for performance: Even 1โ€“2% dehydration reduces cognitive performance by up to 20%, physical strength by 10% and endurance by 15%. Most people walk around chronically under-hydrated without knowing it.
