How to use Meeting Cost Calculator

- Read the resultChange any input and the result is recalculated immediately.
Nothing you enter leaves your device
All of the work happens inside your browser. Whatever you type is never packaged up and sent to a server, and no request this page makes carries it.
That makes it safe for contract amounts, personal details and internal documents you would rather not hand to a third party — close the tab and it is gone.
What this tool does not do
Meeting Cost Calculator only does what a browser can do on its own — it talks to no backend service. So it keeps no history for you and syncs nothing across devices; if you need a record, copy or download the result.
It is also not a substitute for professional judgement. For legal, medical or tax decisions, treat the output as a starting point rather than a final answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the meeting cost calculated?
- Meeting cost equals attendees multiplied by average hourly rate multiplied by hours elapsed. The ticker adds cost every second while the clock runs.
- What hourly rate should I enter?
- Use a fully-loaded rate covering salary, benefits and overhead. For US knowledge workers, $50 to $100 per person per hour is a common range.
- Can I project this on a meeting room screen?
- Yes. Open it full screen on the room display and press Start. It is a plain web page, so it works in any browser without installing anything.
