Meeting Cost Calculator
Estimate what a meeting costs in salary dollars based on attendees, average salary, duration, and optional recurrence. Includes a fully-loaded cost option that adds benefits / overhead.
Limitations: Uses a single average salary for all attendees. Does NOT include preparation time, context-switching cost, or opportunity cost of deferred work. Loaded-cost multiplier varies (1.2–1.4 typical in the US, up to 1.7 in some industries).
What to do next: Biggest lever: cut the attendee list. A 1-hour meeting with 6 people at $90k costs ~$340 in salary alone, ~$440 fully-loaded. If the discussion can be async, that's the real win.
