Live Meeting Cost

Enter the number of attendees and their average hourly rate, then hit start. The timer calculates the running cost in real-time based on everyone's fully-loaded hourly rate, so you see exactly what the meeting is costing as it happens.

The real cost of an employee in a meeting isn't just their salary. We multiply by 1.35 to account for benefits, taxes, and overhead, giving you the true per-minute cost your company pays while everyone sits in that room.

Yes! Use Focus Mode (the expand button) to display the timer on a shared screen. It's a powerful visual that encourages everyone to stay on track and wrap up when the agenda is done.

After stopping the timer, use the Share button to download an image card showing the meeting duration, attendee count, and total cost. Share it in Slack or your team channel to spark conversation about meeting efficiency.

The calculation uses the formula: (attendees × hourly rate × 1.35) × hours. While individual salaries vary, using an average gives you a reliable ballpark for what meetings actually cost your organization.

Use an average hourly rate across attendees. For more precise calculations with individual salaries, try our Meeting Simulator which lets you add participants with different rates.
