Calculate the real cost of your meetings
5 people × 1 hr × $50/hr
If you reduce meeting time by 15 minutes, you'd save $63
With 1 less person, you'd save $50
That's equivalent to a part-time employee in annual salary
A meeting cost calculator estimates the total cost of a meeting based on the number of attendees, their average hourly rates, and the meeting duration. Meetings are one of the most expensive activities in business — yet most organizations never quantify this cost. Studies show that the average employee spends 31 hours per month in unproductive meetings. By calculating the actual dollar cost of meetings, teams can make better decisions about when meetings are necessary and how to make them more efficient.
Enter the number of meeting attendees.
Set the average hourly rate (salary) of attendees.
Specify the meeting duration in minutes.
View the calculated total meeting cost in real-time.
Use the insights to evaluate whether the meeting is worth the investment.
Divide the annual salary by the number of working hours per year (typically 2,080 for full-time). For example, a $100,000 salary is approximately $48/hour. Include benefits (add 25-40%) for true cost.
