Desk & Chair Height Calculator

Set your height and get an ergonomic seat, desk, standing-desk and monitor height — the setup that keeps your elbows at 90 degrees, feet flat and the screen at eye level. Use these as targets for an adjustable chair and desk.

The numbers are a science-based starting point. What matters is the posture they create — if your elbows, wrists and eyeline feel right and your feet rest flat (use a footrest if the chair is too tall to lower), you are set.

Indicative only. These come from average anthropometric ratios; your proportions, footwear and task change them. A fixed 74-75 cm desk suits most adults with a chair that adjusts and a footrest — the chair is the buy to spend on. If you have back, neck or wrist pain, get proper ergonomic advice.
