Why Calculate Meeting Costs?
Meetings are one of the biggest hidden costs in any organization. By making the cost visible, teams can make better decisions about which meetings are necessary and how long they should be.
Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include overhead costs?
This calculator uses salary costs only. True meeting costs including benefits, office space, and opportunity cost are typically 1.5-2x higher.
Can I add different roles?
