Daily Salt Intake Calculator
The WHO recommends less than 5 grams of salt per day (2000 mg sodium). Tick the salty foods you ate today and see where you stand.
WHO daily limit: 5 g salt = 2000 mg sodium. Most salt hides in processed food, not in what you add yourself.
What did you eat today?
Add table salt or any food by salt grams — or enter sodium in mg from a label (salt = sodium × 2.5).
Salt eaten today
0 g of 5 g max
Sodium: 0 mg of 2000 mg max (0% of WHO limit)
How to use
- Tick each salty food or drink you had today (one serving each).
- Use the custom boxes for anything extra — salt in grams, or sodium in mg straight from a nutrition label.
- Watch the bar: green is safe, yellow is close, red is over the WHO limit.
Note: values are average serving estimates and vary by brand and recipe. If you have high blood pressure or kidney problems, follow your doctor, not this calculator.
