Why a Meeting Cost Calculator Matters

Okay, hear me out: most of us sit through meetings thinking, “Why am I even here?” But when you realize that five people in a room for an hour = hundreds of dollars gone, it hits different. Suddenly that “weekly sync” doesn’t feel so casual.

Here’s where the Meeting Cost Calculator comes in hot. It helps you:

• Understand the actual financial impact of a meeting
• Decide if a meeting is really worth it (spoiler: sometimes it’s not)
• Push back against unnecessary invites like a budget-savvy boss
• Optimize your team’s time and energy

It's not about being stingy—it's about being smart with people’s time and your company’s money.
