The Frugal Off Grid Water Calculator

THE Frugal Off-Grid Water Calculator

Simple water calculators I personally use when planning off-grid systems. No guesswork, no fluff. Just clean numbers you can actually use.


Rainwater Harvesting Calculator

Estimate how much rainwater you can collect from a roof based on surface area and annual rainfall.




Enter your numbers and hit Calculate.

Note: This is a rough estimate. Real collection depends on roof material, gutters, first-flush, and losses.


Pond and Underground Cistern Calculator

Estimate how many gallons will fit in a pond or underground cistern based on simple dimensions.




Enter your numbers and hit Calculate.

Liner Size Calculator

Estimate liner size for pond liner or repurposed billboard vinyl. Uses your pond/cistern dimensions above.


Enter length, width, depth above, then calculate liner size.
