Examples

Calculate a meeting cost:

"How much does our weekly 10-person team sync cost at $120K average salary?"

Compare formats:

"Should our daily standup be async? Compare costs for 8 engineers at $150K."

Audit meeting budget:

"Audit our meeting schedule: daily standup (8 people, 15min), weekly planning (6 people, 2h), monthly all-hands (50 people, 1h). Average salary $130K."

ROI check:

"Is a 2-hour roadmap meeting with 12 people worth it? Expected outcome: product direction for Q3 worth ~$500K."

How It Works

All calculations use loaded cost (salary x 1.35 overhead multiplier for benefits, taxes, equipment) divided by 2,080 annual work hours. No external API calls required — runs entirely locally.
