    FAQ

    Why use a 1.4 overhead multiplier?

    Salary is only part of what an employee actually costs. Benefits, payroll taxes, equipment, office space, software licenses and management overhead typically add 30–50% on top of base pay. 1.4 is a conservative middle-ground used in most "true cost of an employee" estimates.

    Where does "annual cost" come from?

    Multiplying the cost of one meeting by the number of times it recurs in a year (52 weekly, 26 biweekly, 12 monthly, 4 quarterly). Set frequency to "One-time" to hide it.

    Is the result accurate enough to put in a presentation?

    It's a directional estimate — the same approach Atlassian, HBR and many productivity coaches use. The numbers are good enough to make decisions about whether a recurring meeting earns its keep. If your team has a wide salary range, run the calc twice (once for the lowest, once for the highest) to bracket it.
