Annual waste: 518 litres/year — enough reason to book a small leak fix while it's still a drip.
Drop size varies by tap and temperature; we use 0.05 mL per drop (common in utility education materials). For hidden leaks in walls, flow is much higher—book an inspection.
Why small drips still matter
A quiet bathroom drip is easy to ignore, but the litres add up—wasting water you pay for, stressing building pumps, and often staining tiles over time. This tool turns an invisible habit into a visible number, then points you to a quick plumber booking when you are ready.
Frequently asked questions
Is the drip calculator scientifically exact?
It uses a standard educational assumption for drop size (0.05 mL). Real drips vary with pressure and aerator design—treat the output as a strong order-of-magnitude, not a water board reading.
My leak is a thin stream, not a drip
A continuous flow wastes far more. Turn off the angle valve if you can, place a bucket, and book a same-day plumbing visit to avoid wall or cabinet damage.
Why can I change ₹ per 1,000 litres?
Mumbai and Navi Mumbai customers pay different effective rates across municipal slabs, STP, and tanker top-ups. Pick the band that looks closest to your last bill for a relatable "money" line.
