Is This Meeting Worth It?
Meetings are expensive. When you gather multiple people in a room, you aren't just paying for their time—you're paying for the opportunity cost of the profound work they aren't doing. This calculator helps visualize that hidden expense.
How to Estimate Avg Hourly Rate
- A $50,000 salary is roughly $25/hour.
- A $100,000 salary is roughly $50/hour.
- Don't forget to account for benefits and overhead (often +30%).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why calculate meeting costs?
Awareness changes behavior. Seeing the ticking dollar amount encourages stricter agendas, shorter meetings, and inviting fewer (only essential) people.
How is the calculation done?
We multiply the Number of Attendees × Average Hourly Rate ÷ 60 to get the cost per minute. This is then applied to the duration.
Does the timer run in the background?
The timer runs as long as the tab is open. If you refresh, it will reset.
