A simple labor-cost estimate

This estimator is useful for understanding the direct time cost of a meeting. It does not judge whether the meeting is worthwhile and does not include every business cost unless you choose an overhead multiplier.

Methodology

How this resource works

Person-hours = attendees × meeting minutes ÷ 60. Estimated cost = person-hours × average hourly cost × overhead multiplier.
