How to use this calculator

  1. Measure the project or enter costs from a current quote or product label.
  2. Adjust the quantities, coverage, package size, and allowances to match your situation.
  3. Select Calculate, then check the method, worked example, and limitations below.

Formula and method

Cost per meeting = attendees × hourly labor cost × meeting minutes ÷ 60. Multiply by meetings per year.

Whole packages and pieces are rounded up. Results disappear when an input changes until the new values are calculated.

Worked example

Attendees 8 people; Average hourly labor cost 45 $/hour; Meeting length 60 minutes; Meetings per year 52 meetings. Results: Cost per meeting $360.00; Yearly meeting cost $18,720.00.

The example uses the values initially displayed in the fields.

Limitations

This measures entered labor cost only; it does not value meeting outcomes, preparation, follow-up, or scheduling conflicts.
