Meeting Cost Calculator
A tool that reveals the true cost of meetings by multiplying attendee hourly rates by meeting duration. Helps organizations identify and eliminate unnecessary meetings.
Understanding Meeting Cost Calculator
Meetings are one of the largest hidden costs in business. A one-hour meeting with eight people earning $75/hour costs $600 in direct labor — and that doesn't include preparation time, context-switching costs, or lost productive time.
Meeting cost calculators make this invisible cost visible. When teams see that their weekly status meeting costs $2,400/month, they're motivated to find alternatives — asynchronous updates, shorter check-ins, or AI-generated summaries.
Organizations that audit their meeting culture typically find 30-40% of meetings could be eliminated or replaced with more efficient alternatives, freeing significant productive time.
