About this calculator

Use this calculator for a first-pass desk height before you fine-tune with elbow height.

Sitting height is about 0.43 × stature. Standing height is about 0.61 × stature. 170 cm stature suggests about 73 cm sitting and 104 cm standing. Height can be centimetres (cm) or inches (in); the desk heights use the same unit. Elbow height while typing is a better check. Chair, shoes, and keyboard thickness move the number.

Height: Body height, in cm or in.

Sitting: Suggested sitting desk height.

Standing: Suggested standing desk height.
