Meeting Cost Calculator
Free Chrome extension that calculates meeting costs in real-time. Enter attendee count and salaries, watch the cost tick up live. Make every meeting count.
Every meeting has a price tag — most teams just never see it. Meeting Cost Calculator makes that cost visible in real time. Enter the number of attendees and an average salary, hit start, and a live ticker shows the accumulating cost as the meeting runs with per-minute and per-hour breakdowns. The timer keeps running even when you close the popup, so you can check back anytime. Use it before scheduling to decide if a meeting is worth the cost, during to keep things focused, or after to see what that "quick sync" actually cost the company. No data collection. No account required. Built on Manifest V3.
