Weekly water intake

The calculator multiplies daily water drunk by 7. From that sum it subtracts the weekly need: seven times the daily target plus the extra water on active days. The result shows spare water or a shortfall in the header unit. The caffeinated-cup count sits in the grid and does not change spare water or the shortfall. In the first example the result is 1.2 {{volume}} below the weekly water target.

How it works

The calculator uses the numbers you enter. The calculator multiplies daily water drunk by 7. From that sum it subtracts the weekly need: seven times the daily target plus the extra water on active days. The result shows spare water or a shortfall in the header unit. The caffeinated-cup count sits in the grid and does not change spare water or the shortfall. In the first example the result is 1.2 {{volume}} below the weekly water target.

The five form fields are water drunk, daily target, activity extra, active days, and caffeinated cups. Water target means: The daily target you set for yourself, then multiplied by 7. The calculator adds the extra on active days and compares the sum with the water you drink. In the first example the result is 1.2 {{volume}} below the weekly water target. Activity extra means: The extra water on one active day, then multiplied by the number of such days in a week. It is not a medical dose. In the first example 0.4 times 3 days give 1.2 {{volume}}. Caffeinated cups means: The number of cups a day, then multiplied by 7. They appear in the grid and do not change spare water or the shortfall.

The second example gives 2.9 {{volume}} above the weekly water target. The third example gives 8.1 {{volume}} below the weekly water target. The calculator uses the numbers you enter: 2 {{volume}} of water a day, which is 14 {{volume}} in a week. The weekly target is 15.2 {{volume}}. On top of the daily target of 2 {{volume}}, the calculator adds 0.4 {{volume}} on each of 3 active days. The result is 1.2 {{volume}} below the weekly water target.

The target is the number you enter, not a medical intake. The calculator does not replace a doctor. The price per unit is optional and does not change the main result.

Enter 2, 2, 0.4, 3, 3, then click Calculate. A comma in 12.5 is read the same way as a period.
