Frequently asked questions
How is meeting cost calculated?
It converts annual salary to a per-second rate, multiplies by attendees, then by the meeting length. Assumes about 2,080 working hours a year.
Should I include benefits?
For a fully-loaded cost, increase the salary figure by roughly 25–35% to account for benefits and overhead.
What's the live meter for?
Run it on screen during a meeting — watching the dollars climb is a surprisingly effective way to keep meetings short.
