Desk height calculator
Quick answer
Seated desk height is about 0.41 times your height and standing desk height about 0.62 times your height. For someone 5 ft 10 in that is a 28.7 in seated surface and a 43.4 in standing surface, and both should be checked against your own elbow height rather than accepted as read.
The stature multipliers are conventions, not published standards. ANSI/HFES 100 specifies adjustment ranges for populations rather than a single correct height for one person, which is why every figure below comes with a band.
Seated surface = height x 0.41. Standing surface = height x 0.62. Seat = height x 0.25. Eye height = seat + height x 0.44.
