Office Ergo Calculator

To begin:

  • You will need a metal measuring tape.
  • It is physically impossible to measure your own dimensions accurately. You will need assistance, or you can import body segment information from the Anthropometric Calculator.
  • You can measure your workplace equipment yourself.
  • Watch the How to perform ergonomic measurements video for more information.
  • Enter measurements into each required field.
