Adjust the assumptions to estimate the cost of participant time.
Adjust the assumptions to estimate the cost of participant time.
A meeting cost estimate turns participant time into a shared financial approximation. It can help teams compare formats, decide who needs to attend, and make recurring meetings more intentional.
This is not an accounting figure. It excludes preparation, follow-up, benefits, payroll taxes, overhead, travel, lost focus, and the value created by the meeting.
Give the meeting a clear outcome, invite people who contribute to or need the result, share context beforehand, and use the shortest realistic duration.
The calculator multiplies estimated hourly compensation by attendees and duration. Annual salary is converted using annual working hours.
