Quick answer

For a person 175 cm tall, an ergonomic set-up is roughly a chair seat at 44 cm, a sitting desk at about 70 cm and a standing desk at about 110 cm, with the top of the monitor at eye level, about 121 cm from the floor when seated. Most standard desks are 72–76 cm, so shorter people often need a footrest or a lower desk.

How to use this calculator

Enter your height without shoes.
Set your chair, desk and monitor to the heights shown.
Fine-tune so elbows rest at about 90° and feet are flat.
