Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Labour-cost estimate only. A valuable meeting can still be worth more than it costs if it creates decisions, alignment or avoided rework.

  • Average hourly cost is a planning estimate and should include employer burden or contractor overhead if that is the question.
  • Every attendee is assumed to spend the same meeting time and prep/follow-up time.
  • The result estimates labour time only; room hire, travel, tools, opportunity cost, decisions delayed or benefits created are not included.
  • Recurring monthly cost assumes the meeting repeats at the entered frequency with the same attendee count and duration.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: do not use cost alone to kill useful meetings. Use the number to sharpen purpose: fewer attendees, shorter agenda, clearer decision owner, async update first, or a written outcome that makes the labour spend worthwhile.

Method

Person-hours per meeting = attendees × (meeting minutes + prep minutes per person) ÷ 60. Meeting cost = person-hours × average hourly cost. Monthly cost = meeting cost × recurring meetings per month.

  1. Six attendees spend 60 meeting minutes plus 10 prep/follow-up minutes each, so person-hours are 6 × 70 ÷ 60 = 7.00. At 60 per hour, the meeting costs 420. Four occurrences per month gives 1,680 per month.

Assumptions

  • Average hourly cost is a planning estimate and should include employer burden or contractor overhead if that is the question.
  • Every attendee is assumed to spend the same meeting time and prep/follow-up time.
  • The result estimates labour time only; room hire, travel, tools, opportunity cost, decisions delayed or benefits created are not included.
  • Recurring monthly cost assumes the meeting repeats at the entered frequency with the same attendee count and duration.
