Desk width calculator

Work out how much desk width you need for one or two monitors placed directly next to each other, with no overhang.

Measurement unit
How many monitors?

Measure the monitor from its left outer edge to its right outer edge, including the bezel. Do not enter the advertised diagonal screen size.

Free desk space to the left of the setup.

Free desk space to the right of the setup.

Add this to check whether your desk is wide enough.

The setup drawing will appear here when the required fields are complete.

Width check only: this result does not assess desk depth, monitor stand footprints, load capacity, or monitor arm compatibility.

What this calculator checks

Measure each monitor across its widest outside edges, including the bezel. The result adds those widths to your chosen gap and side margins. It assumes the monitors sit in a straight line and remain fully above the desk surface.

This is a width check only. It does not assess desk depth, load capacity, monitor stand footprints, or whether a monitor arm can safely support or position your screens.
