工作原理
- 1
Enter the number of attendees.
- 2
Enter the average hourly rate of attendees.
- 3
Enter the meeting duration in minutes.
- 4
Enter the average prep time per person in minutes.
- 5
The calculator computes the total cost by multiplying attendees, hourly rate, and total time (meeting + prep) divided by 60.
attendees * avg_hourly_rate * (meeting_duration + prep_time_per_person) / 60常见问题
How is the average hourly rate determined?
Use the average salary or billing rate of attendees. Divide annual salary by 2080 hours or use a known hourly rate.
Why include preparation time?
Preparation time is often overlooked but represents real cost. Including it gives a more accurate total cost of the meeting.
Can I use this for meetings with different salaries?
Yes, use the average hourly rate across all attendees. For more precision, calculate each attendee's cost separately and sum.

公式
此计算器背后的数学公式，供您核对结果。
Total Meeting Cost
This formula converts total minutes into hours and multiplies by the hourly rate for each attendee.
Example:
Input: 8 attendees, $50/hr, 60 min meeting, 15 min prep each
Calculation: 8 × 50 × (60 + 15) / 60 = 8 × 50 × 75 / 60
Result: $500
实际应用场景
此计算在日常生活中的应用。
Budget Planning
Estimate the cost of recurring meetings to allocate budgets effectively.
Example: Weekly team meeting costing $500 each time adds up to $26,000 per year.
Meeting Optimization
Identify expensive meetings and decide whether to shorten, reduce attendees, or cancel.
Example: Cutting a 1-hour meeting to 30 minutes halves the cost.
Cost Justification
Justify the need for efficient meeting practices or tools that reduce meeting time.
Example: Show that a $200 tool that saves 10 minutes per meeting pays for itself quickly.
提示与常见错误
Tips
- Use realistic hourly rates including benefits and overhead for more accuracy.
- Consider the opportunity cost: time spent in meetings could be used for other work.
- Review recurring meetings regularly to ensure they are still necessary.
- Use this calculator to compare the cost of different meeting formats (e.g., in-person vs. async).
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to include preparation time, which can be significant.
- Using annual salary without converting to hourly rate correctly.
- Ignoring that not all attendees may have the same hourly rate; use a weighted average if needed.
假设与限制
- Use the stated inputs and units.
- Results are estimates for planning and education.
- Check measurements and source data before making an important decision.
