1

Run It Live

Start the meter the moment your next meeting begins and share your screen. Watching the number climb changes how a room talks.

2

Share The Receipt

Stop the meter, download the receipt, and drop it in Slack, the calendar invite, or the meeting notes so everyone sees the real cost.

3

Make It The Default Question

Attach the receipt to your next "should this have been an email" conversation. Fewer, shorter, sharper meetings follow.

Why This Number Matters
What actually drives up the cost of a meeting?
👥

Headcount, not just time

A 30-minute meeting with 10 people costs the same combined hours as a 5-hour meeting with one person. Every extra invitee multiplies the bill.

💰

Salary, not headline cost

Loaded cost, salary plus benefits, is usually higher than salary alone. This calculator uses base salary, so the real number is often even bigger.

⏱️

Meetings that run over

A meeting scheduled for 30 minutes that runs 45 costs 50% more than planned. The live money meter makes overruns visible in real time.

🔁

Recurring meetings compound

A weekly status call that costs $200 a session adds up to over $10,000 a year. Recurring meetings deserve more scrutiny than one-off ones.

🎯

Attendees who don't need to be there

Every person invited "just in case" adds their full hourly rate to the total, whether or not they contribute. Trim the invite list, trim the cost.

📉

Lost productive time

The dollar figure is only part of the story. Every hour in a meeting is an hour not spent on focused, individual work, a cost this tool doesn't capture but is worth remembering.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the meeting cost calculated?

The calculator multiplies each attendee's estimated hourly rate by the running duration of the meeting, giving you a live running total of what the meeting is costing in real time.

Do I need exact salary data for this to be accurate?

No. Rough average salary or hourly rate estimates for each role are enough to get a meaningful figure, this tool is meant to build awareness, not serve as a payroll report.

Can I share the result with my team?

Yes. You can generate a shareable meeting receipt showing the total cost, which is useful for encouraging shorter, more focused meetings.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, completely free with no signup required.
