Frequently Asked Questions

What does this calculator do?

This tool calculates the real-time cost of a meeting by combining attendees' day rates and tracking elapsed time. It helps you visualize the financial impact of meetings instantly.

How is the cost calculated?

Each attendee's day rate is divided by 8 hours to get an hourly rate, then further broken down per second. The total cost increases every second as the meeting progresses.

What does "Cost per Minute" mean?

It shows the total cost for one minute of the meeting, based on the current list of attendees and their rates. It's a great way to see how much even short meetings can add up.

What are the fun comparisons?

Just for fun, the tool shows how many coffees, pizzas, or sandwiches you could have bought with the money spent so far. A cheeky reminder that time is money (and snacks).

Can I remove people or reset the timer?

Absolutely! You can remove attendees at any time and hit the reset button to restart the timer and cost tracking from zero.
