Meeting cost calculator: frequently asked questions
How is the cost calculated?
Hourly cost = monthly salary × 12 ÷ (52 × 40). Then × attendees × hours.
Does it include overheads?
No — visas, insurance and office costs make the real cost higher.
How can we have fewer meetings?
Replace status meetings with written updates, and keep decision meetings small and short.
Is my data stored?
No. It runs in your browser.
Can automation help?
Yes. Automated reports and dashboards remove many status meetings — see our automation recipes.
Why show person-hours?
It makes the time cost visible even when salaries differ.
Are these calculations based on UAE rules?
Where a UAE rule applies (VAT, labour law, mortgage limits) the tool follows it and names the source. Rules change, so confirm important figures with the relevant authority.
Is the meeting cost calculator free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up and no usage limits for normal use.
Is my data sent to your servers?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so what you type never leaves your device.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The tool works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, tablet or computer.
