Meeting Cost Calculator
Meetings consume capital just as surely as payroll, inventory, or debt service. This calculator helps make the cost visible.
Estimated Meeting Cost
Operating Insight
The goal is not to eliminate meetings. The goal is to make sure each meeting creates more value than the attention it consumes.
How to use this calculator
Enter the number of people in the meeting, the average hourly cost of each attendee, the length of the meeting, and how often it occurs.
The result shows both the estimated cost of one meeting and the annual cost if the meeting repeats throughout the year.
Why it matters
A meeting is not expensive simply because it costs money. It becomes expensive when it consumes more attention than the value it creates.
Attention is capital. Allocate it accordingly.
