Frequently Asked Questions
How is meeting cost calculated?
We divide each attendee's annual salary by 2,080 working hours (52 weeks × 40 hours) to get an hourly rate, then multiply by the number of attendees and meeting duration.
What salary data do you use?
The preset salaries are rough estimates based on publicly available data from sources like Glassdoor and levels.fyi. You can always enter a custom salary for more accurate results.
Does this include employer overhead costs?
Not currently. The true cost of an employee is typically 1.3–1.4x their salary when you include benefits, taxes, and equipment. A future version will include an overhead toggle.

According to Harvard Business Review, the average meeting with 5 attendees earning $85,000/year costs approximately $204 per hour. A weekly one-hour meeting with this profile costs over $10,600 per year.
