Calculate the real cost of your meetings in real-time. Shows how much money is being spent per second based on attendee salaries and meeting duration.
Watch the real-time labor cost of a meeting tick upward the moment it starts. Enter how many people are in the room and their average salary, and the calculator turns every second into money, then projects the annual cost if the meeting recurs, breaks the number down per minute and per person, floats over Zoom or Teams with Picture-in-Picture, and exports a shareable snapshot.

Please wait a moment
Enter the number of attendees, their hourly rates or salaries, and the meeting length, and the calculator shows the real dollar cost of the time in the room. Putting a number on it is a fast, effective way to question whether a recurring meeting still earns its place on the calendar.
Set the number of attendees and their average yearly salary. Adjust the annual work-hours field if your team uses something other than the standard 2,080.
Pick your currency and, if the meeting repeats, how often, the calculator will project the annual cost from a single session.
Press play as the meeting starts. The live cost climbs every second based on the combined salary burn of everyone in the room.
See cost per second, per minute, per hour, and per person, plus the projected yearly cost for recurring meetings.
Enable Picture-in-Picture to float the ticker over a video call, or download a PNG snapshot to share the final cost with stakeholders.
Use the figure to justify trimming attendee lists, shortening standing meetings, or replacing status updates with async messages. Everything is calculated locally, so you can model different team sizes and durations privately before sharing the result with stakeholders.
Studies show that unnecessary meetings cost US businesses over $399 billion annually. A typical 1-hour meeting with 10 people earning $75,000/year costs approximately $360 in lost productivity.
The tool calculates: (Annual Salary ÷ 2,080 working hours) × Number of Attendees × Meeting Duration in hours. This gives you the total labor cost for the meeting.
Yes. Use the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode to float the cost ticker over your video call, keeping everyone aware of the financial weight of the conversation.
Research shows that making costs visible changes behavior. Teams that see real-time meeting costs tend to cut meeting length by 20-30%, focus on decisions rather than status updates, and reduce unnecessary attendees.

Show the total cost in dollars. A daily 30-minute standup with 8 people earning $80,000/year costs approximately $77,000 annually in labor alone. This tool generates that number instantly, share the screen during your next meeting to make the point.
Cost = attendees x average hourly rate x duration. Eight people earning ~$52/hour in a 1-hour meeting costs about $416. Enter headcount, salary and length to see the real cost.
Enter the meeting cost and its frequency; the tool multiplies it out so a weekly $416 meeting shows as roughly $21,000 a year, which is a powerful case for trimming it.
Yes. Start the timer at the beginning of a meeting and watch the running cost climb in real time, a memorable nudge to keep meetings short.
No. All figures are calculated locally in your browser and nothing is saved or sent.
