Frequently Asked Questions About Meeting Costs

Everything you need to know about meeting cost tracking, reducing meeting bloat, and per-second burn rates.

100% Privacy Guaranteed

All attendee counts, salary rates, and live timer figures are processed locally in browser memory. Zero data is sent to external servers.

Why should companies track meeting costs?

Unnecessary or unoptimized meetings drain thousands of dollars in hidden labor costs every month. Tracking meeting costs encourages concise agendas, fewer unnecessary attendees, and shorter 15 to 30-minute meetings.

How is the live meeting burn rate calculated per second?

The per-second burn rate is calculated by taking the sum of the hourly rates of all attending roles divided by 3,600 seconds. A real-time stopwatch timer increments the total meeting cost every single second.

Can I customize attendee roles and hourly rates?

Yes! You can set attendee counts for standard tiers (Executives, Senior Managers, Senior Engineers, Associates) or add custom attendee roles with specific hourly billing rates.

What are Opportunity Cost Equivalents?

Opportunity Cost Equivalents visually translate the total meeting cost into relatable metrics, such as how many Starbucks coffees ☕ or developer coding hours 💻 the meeting cost equals.

Is any meeting data uploaded to external servers?

No! 100% private. All attendee counts, salary rates, and live timer figures are processed locally inside your web browser's memory.
