About Meeting cost calculator

The Meeting Cost Calculator displays the real-time financial cost of a meeting as it progresses — a running total that ticks up every second based on the number of attendees and their average salary. Research consistently shows that unnecessary or inefficient meetings represent one of the largest hidden costs in organisations. Seeing the number in real time, especially with a full room, tends to sharpen focus and shorten meetings considerably. The calculation divides the total annual salary cost by working seconds in the year to arrive at a per-second burn rate, then multiplies by elapsed time.
