How Much Is This Meeting Costing?
Enter the number of attendees and their average salary, then hit Start — a live timer shows the meeting's cost ticking up in real time, second by second.
It's equal parts eye-opener and comedy: the burn-rate display turns abstract salary math into a number nobody can ignore. Everything runs in your browser.
Live cost ticker
Start the timer when the meeting begins and watch the cost accumulate in real time — pause and reset anytime.
Salary-based math
The cost is computed from attendee count and average salary, so the figure reflects your team's real burn rate.
Fun with a point
The numbers are estimates from the salary figures you enter — but they make a memorable case for shorter meetings and smaller invites.
How to use
- Enter the number of attendees and average salary.
- Click Start when the meeting begins.
- Watch the cost tick up live.
- Click Stop at the end to see the final damage.
