Rainwater Tank Sizing Calculator

Screen a storage target from daily demand, a design dry period, reserve and estimated annual yield.

Dry-period tank sizing screen

Use the same volume unit selected above.

What this estimate does

The result multiplies daily demand by the selected dry period and adds the reserve. It is a screening value, not a full water-balance model.

What it does not do

It does not model daily rainfall, tank overflow, seasonal demand, first flush, pump dead storage or local minimum and maximum tank requirements. Larger projects should use a rainfall time series and professional design.

Planning estimate only: Verify local rainfall, product ratings, structural support, overflow, plumbing, water-quality and permit requirements.
