How to use the Meeting Time Cost Calculator
Enter a loaded hourly cost representative of the attendees. Preparation is a total across everyone, not a per-person value, so it is not multiplied by attendee count again.
The calculation
Worked example
Eight attendees for one hour plus two total preparation person-hours at $40/hour gives $400.
Assumptions and limits
A time-cost estimate does not measure meeting value or imply the meeting should be canceled. Travel, equipment and follow-up work are omitted unless represented by extra person-hours.
