Frequently Asked Questions
Why calculate meeting costs?▾
Meetings are expensive — an hour with 5 people at $100/hr costs $500. Making the cost visible encourages shorter meetings, better agendas, and fewer unnecessary attendees.
What is the average cost of a business meeting?▾
A 1-hour meeting with 5 professionals averaging $75–$100/hr costs $375–$500 in labor alone — not counting opportunity cost of work not done.
How can I reduce meeting costs?▾
Limit attendees to essential people, set a clear agenda, time-box the meeting, and use async communication (Slack, Loom) for updates that don't require real-time discussion.
