HTML Preparation code:

<div id="el" style="transform: rotateZ(45deg)">
  <h2>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</h2>
</div>

Script Preparation code:

function getLocalDOMRect(el) {
  let offsetTop = 0;
  let offsetLeft = 0;
  const width = el.offsetWidth;
  const height = el.offsetHeight;
  while (el instanceof HTMLElement) {
    offsetTop += el.offsetTop;
    offsetLeft += el.offsetLeft;
    el = el.offsetParent;
  }

  return new DOMRect(offsetLeft, offsetTop, width, height);
}

const el = document.getElementById("el");

Tests:

getBoundingClientRect
const { left, right, top, bottom } = el.getBoundingClientRect();
getLocalDOMRect
const { left, right, top, bottom } = getLocalDOMRect(el);
Access offset properties directly
const { offsetWidth, offsetHeight, offsetTop } = el;
