Meetings are the biggest hidden expense in every company. The average employee spends 31 hours per month in unproductive meetings, and most teams have no idea what that costs. MeetCost makes it visible — instantly.
A meeting's true cost is simple math most people never do: number of people × average hourly rate × duration. A 1-hour meeting with 8 people at $50/hour costs $400. If that meeting happens weekly, it's $19,200 per year — the cost of a part-time employee, spent sitting in a conference room.
Choose Quick Calculate to instantly see the cost of any meeting — enter the number of attendees, average hourly rate, and meeting duration. You'll get the total cost, per-minute burn rate, per-person cost, and a yearly projection showing what recurring meetings cost over 48 working weeks.
Use Live Timer during an actual meeting. Watch the cost tick up in real time, with comparison milestones that put the cost in perspective. Copy and share the meeting cost report with your team afterward.
Companies that start tracking meeting costs typically reduce unnecessary meetings by 20-30%. When the cost is visible, people ask better questions: Does this need a meeting? Does everyone need to attend? Can this be 15 minutes instead of an hour?
For a 10-person startup with an average salary of $60,000/year (~$30/hour), a daily 30-minute standup with the whole team costs around $36,000 per year. For a 500-person company at $80,000 average (~$40/hour), if 20% of employees attend one unnecessary 1-hour meeting per week, that's over $1.9 million per year wasted.
