Meeting Cost Calculator
What does this meeting actually cost?
A meeting's cost is attendees × loaded hourly cost × hours. Six people in a one-hour meeting at a $60 loaded rate burns about $360 of paid time — and if it's weekly, that's roughly $18,700 a year. Enter your meeting below to see the real number.

How do you calculate the cost of a meeting?
Attendees × loaded hourly cost × meeting length in hours. A 1-hour meeting with 6 people at $60/hr costs about $360 of paid time.
Why do meetings cost so much?
Cost scales with people and time at once, and recurring meetings multiply again across the year — a weekly hour-long meeting costs 52× a single sitting.
What is a loaded hourly cost?
Salary plus benefits, taxes, and overhead — typically 1.25–1.4× base pay. It reflects the true cost of someone's time.
