Meeting Waste Calculator

Everyone senses their calendar is bleeding money, but the usual meeting-cost math only counts salaries in the room and misses the real damage, which is the focus you lose around every meeting.

Launch Meeting Waste Calculator

For team leads, managers, anyone drowning in meetings

What it does

Put a real number on what your meetings cost, including the context-switching tax most calculators ignore, and walk away with a concrete plan to fix it.

Currently

Live and browser-only with no signup. You audit your meetings and get a cost figure that factors in context-switching, not just the hourly rate of the attendees, plus a specific action plan. It runs entirely in the browser, so nothing you enter leaves your device.

How I built it

I built this because the standard meeting-cost calculators undersell the problem: they multiply heads by hourly rate and stop, when the bigger loss is the deep work that gets shredded on either side of a calendar invite. This one counts that context-switching tax, so the number lands hard enough to actually change behavior, and then it hands you a plan instead of just a guilt trip. The decision I am proudest of is making it end in an action plan, because a scary number with no next step just makes people feel bad and book the meeting anyway.
