Meeting Cost Calculator — Live Cost of Your Meeting Right Now

Find out what your meetings are really costing

Quick Answer

Unnecessary meetings cost US companies an estimated $37 billion per year. A one-hour meeting with 10 employees earning an average of $75,000 costs the company $360 in salary alone. Research shows 71% of senior managers consider most meetings unproductive. The average employee attends 62 meetings per month — roughly half are considered unnecessary.

Meeting cost calculators show the real-time salary cost of a meeting by multiplying the number of attendees by their average hourly rate for the duration of the meeting. This helps teams evaluate whether a meeting provides enough value to justify its cost and encourages more efficient use of collective time.
