The True Cost of Meetings
Meetings consume expensive time from multiple people simultaneously. A one-hour meeting with 8 attendees earning an average of $80,000/year costs over $300 in salary alone — before accounting for preparation time, follow-up, and lost productivity from context switching. This calculator makes that invisible cost visible.
Research from MIT and Harvard Business Review consistently finds that unnecessary meetings are one of the top workplace productivity killers. By quantifying the cost of each meeting in real dollars, this tool helps teams decide whether a meeting is worth calling — and if so, who truly needs to attend. All calculation is local; no data leaves your browser.
