How meeting time cost works
See combined participant hours used by a meeting.
Formula and convention
Participant hours = people x minutes / 60. Cost = participant hours x hourly rate.A worked example
Eight people in a 45-minute meeting use six participant hours. At 40 per hour, modeled cost is 240.
Scope and precision
Uses one hourly rate for everyone. This is a planning metric, not a judgment about the necessity or value of a meeting.
