What it does
A free meeting cost calculator. Enter average salary, number of attendees, and duration; see exactly what the meeting costs the company. The number is usually sobering.
Use it to justify shorter meetings, smaller attendee lists, or async alternatives. A 10-person hour-long meeting with $120k average salaries costs $600. Worth it for important decisions; wasted for a status update that could be a Slack message.
How to use it
- Enter average annual salary of attendees.
- Enter number of attendees.
- Enter meeting duration in minutes.
- Read the dollar cost of the meeting.
