What does this meeting actually cost?

Enter who attends, what an hour of their time costs, and how often you meet. See the price per meeting, per week, and per year, and what trimming ten minutes saves.

Fully loaded cost, not just salary. When unsure, annual cost ÷ 2,000.

Annual cost, three ways

A straight-line estimate over 48 working weeks. It counts salary time only: preparation, context-switching, and the cost of decisions made badly in unrecorded meetings are extra.

When a meeting is worth its price

A meeting is a purchase. Six people for an hour at AED 400 each is AED 2,400, spent whether or not anything was decided. The test is simple: did the meeting produce decisions and commitments that were worth that much, and were they captured well enough to survive the week?

Worked example (hypothetical)

A leadership team of 6 meets three times a week for an hour, at an average loaded cost of AED 400 per person per hour. That is AED 2,400 per meeting, AED 7,200 a week, roughly AED 345,600 a year. Trimming ten minutes off each meeting frees about AED 57,600 a year. Cutting one of the three entirely frees over AED 115,000.

The cheapest improvements are structural: a real agenda, time boxes, and a record that makes re-litigating last week unnecessary. Meeting length and count follow from those.

MeetriX measures the other side of this equation automatically: talk time, punctuality, agenda coverage, and meeting length trends live in meeting analytics. And a tight agenda starts in the agenda builder.

Frequently asked questions

How is the meeting cost calculated?

Attendees × average hourly cost × meeting length in hours. Weekly cost multiplies by how often the meeting happens; annual cost assumes 48 working weeks.

What hourly cost should I use?

Use the fully loaded cost: salary plus benefits, overhead, and employer costs. A quick approximation is annual cost divided by 2,000 working hours.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser; nothing you type leaves the page.

How do I actually reduce the number?

Shorter meetings with real agendas, fewer standing meetings, and records good enough that nothing needs re-discussing. MeetriX tracks length, punctuality, and agenda coverage automatically in analytics.
