Quick answer

Spend most on what you touch all day. A good chair matters most for your back, then a monitor at eye level, then the desk, keyboard and mouse. A typical split is about 30% chair, 25% monitor, 15% desk, 10% keyboard and mouse, 10% router and power backup and 10% lighting and accessories. On ₹40,000, put about ₹12,000 into the chair.

How to use this calculator

Enter your total budget and the quality level you want.
Choose whether to put the biggest item on EMI.
Use the split and the buying order shown, and adjust to what you already own.

Frequently asked questions

What matters most in a WFH chair?

Adjustable height, lumbar support and armrests, and a seat depth that fits your thighs.

Do I need a UPS?

If power cuts are common, a small UPS for the router keeps you online; laptops run on their battery.

What size monitor for work?

24 inches suits most desks; 27 inches is better for spreadsheets and design work.
