Cost of a Meeting Calculator
Put a dollar figure on that recurring standup, planning session or "quick sync".
Meetings are the most expensive recurring line item nobody budgets for. Enter the room and see the real number — including the annualised cost if it repeats.
Salary + employer taxes + benefits + overhead. ~1.3–1.5× base salary is typical.
Costs use annual / 2,080 for hourly. Recalculates as you type.

Talk to our engineers →The math
Cost = attendees × average hourly cost × duration. Hourly cost is annual salary ÷ ~2,080 working hours, optionally grossed up for overhead. Recurring meetings multiply fast: a weekly 1-hour meeting with 8 engineers is well over six figures a year.
Use it to cut, not to shame
The goal is to make the trade-off visible: is this meeting worth a junior engineer's entire salary? Often yes. Sometimes very much no.
