Home office budget ranges
These are approximate US retail ranges for planning. They are not exact prices, not quotes, and not a live feed. Currency is US dollars. Read how we research for how a range is checked and why it changes.
Category ranges
Starter is a first workable setup. Mid is a stronger chair, a larger monitor, and a real arm or dock. Premium is a higher retail band for those same kinds of tools, not a gaming-styled setup.
Adding the low ends of the starter column comes to about $520. Adding the high ends comes to about $1,410. The mid column adds to about $1,410–$3,110. The premium column adds to about $3,110–$6,650. Those sums are sketches. A real room mixes tiers, and the bands already overlap on purpose.
Ranges were set as editorial bands against typical listed US retail prices, not by recording one product’s price and not from a live feed. They move with sales, refurbished stock, and new models. Confirm the current price on the retailer or manufacturer page before you buy.
