Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate the cost of a meeting?

Multiply attendees by the average hourly cost per person, then by the meeting length in hours. Six people at 1,500 per hour for 60 minutes is 6 x 1,500 = 9,000. The tool shows this planned cost and a live counter that grows while the meeting runs.

How does the live meeting cost counter work?

Press Start meeting and the counter adds cost every second, based on attendees times the hourly cost. You can pause, resume and reset it. With 9,000 per hour, the cost rises by about 150 every minute. It runs only in your browser.

How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly cost?

Choose Year as the rate type and the tool divides the annual figure by 2,000 working hours. An annual cost of 20,00,000 becomes 1,000 per hour. It is a simple approximation, so enter an hourly cost directly if you know a more accurate figure.

Should I use salary or total employee cost?

Total cost to the company is a fairer basis because it includes benefits, taxes and overheads, not just salary. Salary alone will understate the real cost. Either way, the result is a rough estimate to prompt better meeting habits, not an accounting figure.

How can I reduce the cost of meetings?

Invite only those who need to decide or contribute, set an agenda, and shorten the slot. Cutting a 60-minute meeting to 30 minutes halves the cost, and removing 2 of 6 attendees reduces it by one third. Showing the live counter can also keep discussions focused.

Does the meeting cost calculator include the time people spend preparing?

No. It only counts the meeting length you enter, multiplied by the attendees and their average cost. Preparation, follow-up work and the cost of interrupting other tasks are not included, so the real cost of a meeting is usually higher than the figure shown.

Is my data shared when using the Meeting Cost Calculator?

No. Toolskyt operates under a zero-server policy. All calculations, data formatting, and file exports are executed locally on your machine.
