The Free Meeting Cost Calculator Built for Real Teams

AgendaBurn is a real-time meeting cost calculator that shows exactly how much any meeting costs your company — down to the second. Add each attendee's name and salary level, press Start, and watch the dollar amount climb live as the meeting runs.

Studies show US companies waste $37 billion per year on unnecessary meetings. A single 60-minute meeting with six people at average salaries costs $300–$800. Most teams have no idea. AgendaBurn makes that cost impossible to ignore.

Unlike generic salary calculators, AgendaBurn tracks meetings in real time, generates AI-powered meeting summaries, syncs with Google and Apple Calendar, and posts debrief reports to Slack — all from one free tool. No signup required to start.

One live number

The room sees a single cost signal, so it is obvious when the conversation is worth the time and when it is drifting.

Clear pressure while the meeting runs
One clean output

You leave with a summary, decisions, and action items that can be sent immediately instead of rebuilt later.

AgendaBurn is the simplest way to do that — free, instant, and no account required.

FAQ

Meeting Cost Calculator — FAQ

Everything you need to know about AgendaBurn.

AgendaBurn takes each attendee's annual salary, converts it to a per-second rate, and multiplies by the elapsed meeting time. The total cost updates live every second as the timer runs — so everyone in the room can see exactly what the meeting is spending.
Yes — free forever for teams of up to 3 attendees with unlimited meetings. Pro starts at $4.99/month and unlocks Google Calendar sync, Slack integration, AI summaries, PDF export, and more.
Studies show a typical 1-hour meeting with 6 attendees costs between $300–$800 depending on seniority. Unnecessary meetings cost US businesses over $37 billion per year. AgendaBurn makes that number visible in real time, so your team can decide if a meeting is worth having before it runs over.
Free users: your salary data and meeting history stay entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded to our servers. Pro users get secure cross-device sync, where meeting history is stored in a private database tied to your account and accessible only to you.
Yes — both are Pro features. Google Calendar and Apple Calendar sync lets you load upcoming events directly into the timer with one click. Slack integration lets you post a full meeting summary — cost, duration, attendees, and AI action items — to any channel via webhook.
The most effective approaches: (1) Show the live cost to all attendees — visibility alone creates urgency. (2) Set a hard time limit with a visible timer. (3) Only invite essential people — removing one senior attendee can cut costs by 20%. (4) Replace status update meetings with async tools like Slack or Notion. AgendaBurn helps with all of these.
A useful benchmark: a meeting should generate value equal to at least 3× its cost. A 30-minute standup for 5 people at average salaries costs roughly $75–$150. If it doesn't produce clear decisions or alignment worth that amount, shorten it or cut it entirely.
Yes. AgendaBurn is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — open agendaburn.com in your mobile browser and tap "Add to Home Screen" to install it as a native-feeling app on iPhone or Android. It works fully offline after the first load.
