How to Use This Calculator
The meeting cost calculator estimates the labor cost of a meeting. It is useful for managers, founders, operations teams, and anyone trying to decide whether a recurring meeting is worth the time.
Formula
Meeting cost = attendees x average hourly rate x duration in hours. Weekly cost = meeting cost x meetings per week. Annual cost = weekly cost x 52.
Example
A 30-minute meeting with 10 attendees at an average $60 hourly rate costs about $300 per meeting. Twice per week, that is about $31,200 per year.
Common Tips
- Use loaded cost if you want to include benefits and overhead.
- Recurring meetings become expensive quickly even when each meeting feels short.
- Use the result as a prompt to improve agendas, attendance, or meeting frequency.
