  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Use loaded costs if desired. Equal preparation time for each attendee; travel and opportunity costs are not inferred.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Hourly costs per attendee: 30,40,50
  • Meeting duration: 1 h

What method does it use?

labor cost=Σhourly attendee costs × (meeting+preparation).. Use loaded costs if desired. Equal preparation time for each attendee; travel and opportunity costs are not inferred.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.
