How do you calculate hourly cost?

Annual salary / 1800 working hours. 1800 reflects ~225 working days × 8 hours, excluding holidays and vacation. Standard productive-hours benchmark.

Should I include benefits?

For a fully-loaded number, add ~20–30% to the salary. We keep the math simple here; for budgeting, gross it up.

What’s an "expensive" meeting?

Industry rule of thumb: anything over €500 needs an agenda and a clear decision to be made. Over €1,000, think hard about whether it could be a written doc + comments instead.

Meetings have a real cost: salaries × time. This free Meeting Cost Calculator gives you the honest number — cost of this single meeting, cost per minute, and cost per year if the meeting is recurring weekly. Used by managers cutting meeting bloat, CFOs reviewing process overhead, and individual contributors deciding whether to decline a recurring invite. Once a meeting costs €8,000 a year to run, the conversation about “could this be async” gets shorter.
