Cost = Σ(salary ÷ weeks ÷ hours × overhead) × meeting hours
FAQ
How is the meeting cost calculated?
Each annual salary is divided by working weeks and weekly hours, then multiplied by the selected overhead factor. Attendee hourly costs are added and multiplied by meeting duration.
What does the overhead multiplier represent?
Salary only uses 1.0×. Higher multipliers provide a rough allowance for benefits, payroll costs, equipment, and other employer expenses.
Does the live ticker keep exact payroll time?
No. It is a planning and awareness estimate using browser elapsed time, not an attendance, payroll, or billing record.
Are salaries saved or uploaded?
No. Salaries and calculations remain in this browser tab and are never submitted.
