Meeting Cost Timer
Adds up what a meeting is costing in real time from attendee count and hourly rates.
Attendees times their cost per hour, ticking upward while the meeting runs. It is a rhetorical device more than an accounting one, and the figure it shows is deliberately a floor: salary alone, with none of the employer contributions or overhead that a real fully-loaded cost carries.

How to use it
Count the room
Everyone attending, including the people who are only listening. Silent attendance is the expensive kind.
Pick the rate basis
Salary ÷ 2,508 hours is the Korean statutory standard — 209 hours a month including 주휴시간, times twelve. Salary ÷ 2,080 is the US convention of 40 hours × 52 weeks. Or enter an hourly figure directly.
Start it when the meeting starts
Sharing the screen while it runs is the whole trick. The copy button writes a one-line summary for the minutes.
Common questions
Is this what the meeting really costs?
It is the floor. Employer contributions, benefits, equipment and overhead typically add another 20–50% on top of salary, and the opportunity cost of the work not being done is not in the number at all.
Why is 2,508 hours the default rather than 2,080?
Because this site’s first audience is in Korea, where the statutory monthly standard is 209 hours — 40 a week plus the paid weekly rest hour. Both are offered because silently picking one produces an hourly rate that is 20% out for half the readers.
Does anyone see what I typed?
No. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent — the figures live in the page while the tab is open and are gone when it closes.
