How do you calculate the cost of a meeting?
Cost = (each attendee's hourly rate) × (number of attendees) × (duration in hours). Hourly rate is the annual salary divided by 2,080 working hours a year. This calculator does it instantly and can also tick the cost up live while the meeting runs.
What's the average cost of a meeting?
It depends on size and seniority, but the maths adds up fast: a weekly 30-minute meeting with five people on $75,000 salaries costs about $900 a year — and that's a small one. Long recurring meetings with senior staff routinely cost tens of thousands of dollars a year.
How can I reduce meeting costs?
Cut attendees to the people who truly need to be there, shorten the default length, replace status updates with async messages, and stop the back-and-forth of finding a time. Sharing a booking link instead of emailing about availability alone saves hours of calendar tetris each week.
