Calculate the real cost of your meeting with a live cost ticker. See annual waste from unnecessary meetings. Find out if your meeting could have been an email.
Studies estimate that unnecessary meetings cost US businesses over $37 billion annually. A one-hour meeting with 10 people earning $50/hour costs $500 in salary alone — before lost productivity.
Meeting cost equals the number of attendees multiplied by their average hourly salary, multiplied by meeting duration in hours. Our tool calculates this in real-time as the meeting progresses.
Keep meetings under 30 minutes, invite only essential participants, set clear agendas, use async communication for updates, and consider whether a quick Slack message or email would suffice.
Our email score rates how likely your meeting could have been an email or Slack message based on attendee count, duration, and typical meeting purpose patterns.
