Explanation

Meetings are expensive. When you gather multiple people in a room, the cost is not just the time spent—it is the combined hourly rate of everyone present.

This calculator shows an estimate based on attendee count, an average hourly rate, and duration. Live Mode updates the estimate every second.

FAQ

How is meeting cost calculated?

Estimated Cost = attendees × average hourly rate × meeting duration (in hours).

What does “average hourly rate” mean?

It is a single hourly value used for all attendees as a simplified input.

Why does Live Mode change every second?

Live Mode multiplies elapsed seconds by the calculated cost per second.

Does this include overhead costs?

No. This tool estimates direct time cost only. Benefits, office cost, and other overhead are excluded.
