Meeting ROI Calculator
How much money are your meetings costing you?
Your calendar has a cost. Find out in less than a minute how much a meeting costs and start measuring the impact of your Meetingitis.
One hour in a meeting is never just one hour.
Every participant brings time and cost into the room. Multiply the number of attendees by the duration and their hourly cost, and a figure appears that is normally invisible in your calendar.
Start putting numbers on your meetings.
The Meetingitis Calculator turns a meeting into useful information to understand how much time and capacity it consumes and what it would need to generate to justify that investment.
Meeting cost
Estimate how much it costs to bring those people together for that amount of time.
Person-hours
Turn meeting duration into the total amount of time consumed by all attendees.
Potential savings
Explore what happens when you reduce duration, frequency or the number of participants.
Recoverable capacity
See how much time could be returned to focused work, execution and creation.
Meeting ROI Potential
Relate the cost of meeting to the value you expect that meeting to generate.
A high-cost meeting can deliver an extraordinary return if it unlocks an important decision. A low-cost meeting can still be a waste if it produces nothing. That is why measuring cost alone is not enough.
From the cost of meeting to the impact generated.
The next question after “how much does it cost?” is: “what did we get in return?”.
A meeting can look small until you do the maths.
You don’t need a complex financial analysis to get started. You only need to understand who is attending, for how long and the approximate cost of that time.
Calculate your next meeting before it starts.
Add the participants, their professional profiles and the duration. Meetingitis will do the rest.

Understanding the cost of a meeting.
How do you calculate the cost of a meeting?
A basic estimate consists of multiplying the time spent by each participant by their hourly cost and adding the results for all attendees.
What are meeting person-hours?
They represent the total amount of time consumed by all participants. A one-hour meeting with eight attendees consumes eight person-hours.
What is meeting ROI?
Meeting ROI is a way of relating the resources invested in a meeting to the value or outcome that meeting contributes to generating.
Does reducing meetings necessarily save money?
Not always. The goal is not to eliminate meetings for the sake of it, but to reduce those that consume time without generating enough value and improve the meetings that are genuinely necessary.
