How this calculator works
The calculation starts with an estimated standing elbow height. Close work sits near that level. Assembly work sits lower, and jobs that need downward force sit lower again.
Important limitationThis is not an ergonomic or medical assessment. Set up a temporary surface at the suggested height and work at it for a while before you buy or build a bench.
