How to calculate meeting cost
This calculator finds the total cost of a meeting by multiplying attendees, their average hourly cost, and meeting length — a useful way to make abstract time cost concrete.
How the calculation works
Meeting cost = Attendees × Average hourly cost per attendee × Meeting length (hours).
Example
8 attendees at $60/hour average cost, meeting for 1.5 hours: 8×60×1.5 = $720.

Pro Tips for Meeting Cost
- Average hourly cost per attendee should reflect fully-loaded compensation (salary plus benefits), not just base wage, for a realistic total.
- Seeing the dollar figure can help evaluate whether a meeting's length or attendee list is appropriately scoped for its purpose.
Common Meeting Cost Mistakes to Avoid
- Using base salary alone instead of fully-loaded compensation cost, which understates the true cost of attendee time.
