Ever wondered how much your team meetings cost?

The Meeting Cost Calculator lets you calculate an estimated cost for meetings, using the standard pay rates used by a variety of public sector organizations.

The salary data included here is adapted from published annual pay rate sources. You can find and contribute to this data on GitHub.

  • Meeting costs are determined by converting annual salaries into hourly rates, then multiplying these against the elapsed time.
  • Salary classifications with a range of levels are simplified to minimum, maximum, and median rates. These rates (along with optional employee benefit plan and accommodation premium costs) can be selected under the gear options menu.
