Q: What's a typical meeting cost for a small team?

A: A 30-minute standup with 4 people averaging $80K/year costs about $77. A 1-hour department meeting with 10 people at $100K average costs about $480. A 2-hour all-hands with 20 people at $120K average? That's over $2,300. When you add up all the recurring meetings across a year, most companies are spending 10–15% of their total payroll on meetings alone.

Q: Can I use this to convince my boss to cancel unnecessary meetings?

A: Absolutely! That's one of the most popular uses. Run the timer on a recurring meeting, capture the annualized cost, and present it to your manager. When they see that the weekly 1-hour status meeting costs $25,000 per year, they'll be much more open to alternatives like async updates or shorter standups. Data speaks louder than complaints.

Q: Is the Meeting Cost Timer free? Does it save data?

A: Completely free, no sign-up required, and nothing is saved to any server. All calculations happen in your browser. Your meeting data stays on your device. Use it as many times as you want — for real meetings, hypothetical scenarios, or just to prove a point to your team about meeting efficiency.

⏱️ Meeting Cost Timer — Is Your Meeting Really Worth It?

Meeting Cost Timer is an interactive tool that shows your meeting's cost in real-time. Just enter the number of attendees and each person's annual salary, hit start — and watch the counter tick up by the second. Seeing the numbers climb will make you think twice: "Does this meeting really need to happen?"

📊 How to Use It

First, set the number of attendees — the system auto-generates each person with a random salary (you can adjust manually). Then click "Start Meeting" to begin the timer. The counter shows the running total and meeting duration in real-time. When you end the meeting, the tool displays total cost, average cost per person, and what that money could have bought instead — maybe several team lunches, or months of Netflix subscriptions.

💼 Why You Need This Tool

In the modern workplace, meetings consume a huge amount of work time — yet many could have been an email. This tool makes meeting costs visible: when you see a 10-person department meeting burn $500+ in one hour, you'll start thinking seriously about meeting efficiency. Perfect for projecting during team meetings, or sharing with your boss as a friendly reminder. Completely free, no download needed, just open in your browser.
