Quick Interpretation

Framework

Core Decision Signals

Use these to prioritize which recurring meetings to redesign first.

01

High spend + low output

If the meeting has no decisions or clear owners, replace with async updates.

02

Too many attendees

Each added participant scales cost linearly, often without equal value increase.

03

Duration inflation

Default 30/60-minute slots hide waste. Compare 25/45-minute alternatives.

Methodology

How We Calculate Meeting Cost

Last reviewed: February 2026

Every estimate on this site follows one consistent model so teams can compare meetings fairly, prioritize the largest savings opportunities, and track change over time.

Step 1: Loaded Hourly Cost

Annual salary is converted to hourly rate and multiplied by a 1.4x load factor to reflect benefits, payroll taxes, software, and workspace costs.

Step 2: Meeting Time Cost

Loaded hourly cost is multiplied by attendee count and duration. This produces a comparable baseline for every recurring meeting format.

Step 3: Recurring Spend

Per-meeting cost is rolled up to monthly and annual projections so leaders can prioritize the highest impact meeting changes first.

Assumptions are intentionally transparent and conservative. For mixed-seniority meetings, use a weighted average salary. For executive-heavy forums, increase salary assumptions and compare the delta before changing cadence.

Execution Playbook

A 90-Day Meeting Cost Reduction Plan

Most teams see measurable savings when they run optimization as a structured cycle instead of ad-hoc calendar cleanup.

Days 1-30

Baseline and Rank

Calculate your top 10 recurring meetings by annual cost. Add business value scores (1-5) and identify the high-cost, low-value quadrant first.

Days 31-60

Run Controlled Changes

For each target meeting, test one change at a time: fewer attendees, shorter duration, or async updates. Track decision speed and action completion.

Days 61-90

Scale What Works

Roll successful patterns into team standards, update meeting templates, and recalculate quarterly to prevent recurring meeting costs from creeping back.

Execution Layer

Turn meeting cost
into action.

Start with the highest-cost recurring meetings. Recalculate after each change and track the impact over a full quarter.
