TIME IS MONEY!

Every meeting has a real, running cost: the combined billing rate of everyone sitting in it. Most of us never see that number, so meetings drift past their scheduled end with no visible penalty. This tool makes the cost visible, second by second, and turns overtime bright red the moment you cross the line you set for yourself.

Step 1

Configure the meeting

You'll get a Send Receipt button here when the meeting ends, ready to email to this address.

Step 2

Add participants by title

Group people by title and rate: three engineers at the same hourly rate can be added as one row with a headcount of three. If you add or remove participants while the meeting is running, it's treated the same as someone actually joining or leaving partway through, so the cost calculation adjusts from that moment forward.

Pay types are converted to a per-second rate assuming an 8-hour workday, a 5-day workweek, and 21.75 working days per month. Non-USD rows are converted to USD using fixed reference rates for this demo.

Step 3
