Meeting Cost Calculator

LIVE

Calculate the real cost of any meeting with participants, duration, and salaries.

About this tool

Meeting Cost Calculator turns headcount, role-by-role salary, and meeting duration into the real labor cost of a single meeting in USD / KRW / EUR / JPY. Five role presets β€” Junior / Senior / Manager / Director / VP β€” ship with average-salary estimates auto-converted to your selected currency, and a custom-input mode lets you enter exact in-house figures. A live counter ticks the cumulative cost up by the second during the meeting itself, making "is this meeting worth another 30 minutes?" visceral. Result cards can be shared to Slack/email as a change-management nudge against pointless meetings. Everything runs in your browser.

Use cases

Scenario 1

Weekly recurring-meeting cost

Calculate the monthly and yearly cost of an 8-person, 1-hour weekly standing meeting and confront the team with "do we really need this every week?".

Scenario 2

Executive meeting live counter

Project the live counter at a 5-VP + 3-Director meeting β€” the cost ticks visibly and naturally curbs off-agenda chatter.

Scenario 3

Agency-quote meeting cost

Translate client-meeting hours into labor cost as a justification line for hourly consulting rates in proposals.

Scenario 4

Global team currency compare

For a mixed KR/US/EU/JP team, surface the meeting cost in KRW, USD, EUR, and JPY simultaneously to expose global labor-cost gaps.

Scenario 5

No-meeting-Friday campaign

Power a "fewer meetings" campaign by sharing role-based hourly-cost cards in Slack as evidence to retire low-value standing meetings.

Frequently asked

Q. Where do preset salaries come from?
A. Preset values are USD-base averages per role, auto-converted to your currency. For accuracy, switch to custom input and enter your firm’s real numbers.
Q. What does the cost include?
A. Only direct labor cost (salary Γ· annual work hours Γ— meeting hours) is computed. Room rent and overhead can be added through an optional multiplier.
Q. What is the annual-work-hours base?
A. Standard 2,080 hours (40h Γ— 52 weeks). Mirrors the US/KR 40h-week baseline with average holidays.
Q. Could the real cost be higher?
A. Yes β€” fully loaded cost including benefits and stock often runs 1.3–1.5Γ— direct labor. Multiply for fully loaded numbers.
Q. Is salary data safe?
A. Everything is computed in your browser. No role, salary, or duration data is ever sent to a server.
