Standing Desk Ergonomics Calculator
Volume I · May 2026 · 678 words
Find your optimal sitting and standing desk heights based on your body measurements. Results are derived from anthropometric data used in BIFMA G1-2013 ergonomic guidelines: seated elbow height is approximately 63% of total height (adjusted for chair seat height), and standing elbow height is approximately 63% of total height measured from the floor. For a detailed analysis of height range, see our height range guide.
Sitting desk height = seated elbow height. Standing desk height = standing elbow height − anti-fatigue mat thickness. Keyboard tray offset adjusts the typing surface downward from the desktop plane. Monitor center height assumes eye level is approximately 4.5 inches above elbow height in relaxed posture.
