How It Works

This calculator estimates the cost of a meeting by multiplying the number of attendees by their average hourly rate and the meeting duration.

Formula:

Meeting Cost = Attendees × Hourly Rate × (Duration / 60)
Cost per Minute = Attendees × Hourly Rate / 60
Cost per Person = Hourly Rate × (Duration / 60)
Total Person-Hours = Attendees × (Duration / 60)
Tips to Reduce Meeting Costs
  • Reduce attendees: Only invite people who need to be there
  • Set shorter durations: A focused 15-minute standup often beats a 60-minute status meeting
  • Have an agenda: Structured meetings end sooner and produce better outcomes
  • Consider async: Could this meeting be an email, document, or recorded video instead?
