I like previous answers but iterating through parent objects twice is not very effective. Remember - you're working with COM/ActiveX here. This works much faster:

public Point GetOffset(HtmlElement el)
{
    //get element pos
    Point pos = new Point(el.OffsetRectangle.Left, el.OffsetRectangle.Top);

    //get the parents pos
    HtmlElement tempEl = el.OffsetParent;
    while (tempEl != null)
    {
        pos.X += tempEl.OffsetRectangle.Left;
        pos.Y += tempEl.OffsetRectangle.Top;
        tempEl = tempEl.OffsetParent;
    }

    return pos;
}

and then

var point = GetOffset(element);
var x = point.X;
var y = point.Y;
