Calculate · Time desk · 60 seconds
A recurring meeting is a subscription paid in the most expensive currency a company holds — senior hours. This instrument writes the annual invoice: money, collective hours, and the number of full-time salaries the slot quietly consumes.
Everyone whose calendar it blocks, including the ones on mute.
If unsure: average salary × 1.4 burden ÷ 1,840 hours. Senior rooms run far higher.
Daily counts working days: 230 a year. Weekly, 46. The house calendar.
Reading the doc, closing the other work, reopening it after. Rarely zero.
Nothing you type leaves this page. The instrument runs entirely in your browser; there is no account and no record.
Within reason.

The rate is usually understated. Loaded cost runs 1.3–1.5× salary before you count the opportunity cost of what senior people would otherwise ship.
Some meetings are cheap at any price — the ones where decisions are actually made. Bill the status readouts; protect the decision rooms.
The unbilled item is fragmentation: a meeting in the middle of a morning can void the whole morning for makers. This instrument prices only part of that.
Everything below is calculated from your inputs. Nothing is fetched, nothing is looked up.
per_occurrence = attendees × (duration + prep)/60 × loaded_hourly
annual_bill = per_occurrence × occurrences
occurrences — daily 230 · weekly 46 · biweekly 23 · monthly 12
FTE_consumed = collective_hours / 1,840
The gauge reads the meeting in full-time people: collective annual hours over a 1,840-hour working year (40 × 46). The line sits at one full salary; past it, the slot employs a phantom person. The house calls anything over half a headcount worth a hard look.
Limitations. Loaded hourly cost is an estimate — payroll data beats the 1.4× rule where you have it. Value produced by the meeting is not modelled; that judgment stays with whoever owns the invite.
