Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate meeting cost?
Meeting Cost = Number of Attendees × (Average Salary / 2080 hours) × Duration in Hours. For a 1-hour meeting with 8 people earning $75,000/year, the cost is 8 × $36.06 × 1 = $288.46.
What is the average cost of a meeting?
Harvard Business Review estimates the average meeting costs $338-$1,000+ depending on seniority. A weekly 1-hour meeting with 8 people can cost $15,000-$50,000+ per year.
How can I reduce meeting costs?
Reduce attendees (invite only essential people), shorten duration (try 25 or 50 min instead of 30/60), cancel recurring meetings that no longer add value, use async communication (email/Slack) when possible, and always have a clear agenda.
