How it's calculated
Annual salary ÷ 2,080 working hours × 1.25 overhead multiplier (benefits, office, tools) × meeting duration. This reflects the true all-in cost per employee hour.
When to use this
Before scheduling a recurring meeting. If a 10-person weekly 1-hour meeting costs $1,200, that's $62K per year.
What it changes
Teams that track meeting cost run shorter meetings, invite fewer people, and cancel unnecessary recurrings.
The 1.25x multiplier
Salary is only part of the cost. Benefits, payroll taxes, and overhead typically add 20–30% on top.
