Frequently Asked Questions
- The tool multiplies each attendee's hourly rate by the meeting duration. For recurring meetings, it projects the cost annually based on the frequency you select.
- Use fully-loaded costs if you know them (salary + benefits + overhead). Otherwise, the role presets provide reasonable estimates for European tech companies. Adjust them to match your region.
- A single meeting might seem cheap, but recurring meetings compound. A 500 EUR weekly meeting costs 26,000 EUR per year. Annual projections reveal the true long-term cost.
- Research suggests that 40-60% of meeting time could be replaced with async communication. The savings estimate shows what you would save by converting 60% of the meeting to async decision-making.
