Frequently Asked Questions
How are meeting costs calculated?
Meeting costs are calculated by factoring in participant salaries, time duration, overtime rates if applicable, and the number of attendees. For recurring meetings, projections include frequency and duration of the project or timeframe.
Why track meeting costs?
Tracking meeting costs helps organizations optimize their time usage, make informed decisions about meeting frequency and attendance, and improve overall operational efficiency. It provides concrete data for budgeting and resource allocation.
How can I reduce meeting costs?
Reduce meeting costs by limiting attendance to essential participants, setting clear agendas, keeping meetings concise, avoiding overtime when possible, and using the cost calculator to analyze and optimize your meeting patterns.

Overtime rates typically increase meeting costs by 50% or more per participant working beyond regular hours. The calculator factors in these rate differences to provide accurate cost projections for meetings scheduled during overtime periods.
