Take back your calendar with a number nobody can argue with. Clone the live Meeting Cost Calculator and every invite carries its own price tag: attendee count x loaded hourly rate x duration, calculated as you build the guest list.
The scene this fixes: a standing Thursday sync with eleven people on it, forty-five minutes long, that has not produced a decision since March. Nobody cancels it because nobody has ever seen what it costs. Here it reads $780 a week, $40,560 a year, and the conversation changes in one sentence.
What's Included
- Live cost formula: Attendees x loaded hourly rate x duration, recalculating as you add or drop a name
- Role rate table: Loaded rates by role, so the math reflects true cost and not base salary
- Recurring rollup: Weekly, monthly, and annual cost per standing meeting in Table view
- Decision-vs-status triage: Tag each meeting as a decision, a working session, or a status read — then sort by cost and see which category is eating your year
- AI meeting agent: A custom agent reviews your recurring set and names the three worth killing or halving
- Pre-meeting alert: Automation triggers send the organizer the estimate before the invite goes out
How To Use
- Clone the app and fill the role rate table once
- Add every recurring meeting on your calendar, with real attendee counts
- Sort the annual rollup descending and read the top five out loud
- Halve the duration or the guest list on two of them, and re-check next quarter
