It is known that traversible wormholes require negative energy density. We here argue how much negative energy is needed for wormholes, using a local analysis which does not assume any symmetry. and in particular allows dynamic (non-stationary) but non-degenerate wormholes. We find that wormholes require two constraints on the energy density, given by two independent components of the Einstein equation.
