Holi Product Hunt! 👋
I built Meeting Cost Ticker after sitting in a recurring meeting and having one of those thoughts: “How much is this actually costing us right now?”
The problem is that meeting costs are invisible. An hour on the calendar feels free, but once you factor in the number of people in the room and their time, the cost can add up surprisingly fast.
So I built a tiny tool that makes that cost visible in real time. Enter the number of attendees and an average salary, hit start, and watch the estimated cost tick up every second. 💸
I wanted to keep it deliberately simple: no signup, no backend, no tracking — everything runs locally in your browser.
I also added a “Share the damage” button so you can copy the running total and drop it into Slack, Teams, or wherever your meeting is happening. 😈
This started as a small idea from a real frustration, and I’d love to hear what you think. What would make it more useful? What am I missing?
Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
The ticking sound effect is a nice touch, makes the cost feel real instead of just a number on a screen. Cranked it up during a meeting that should have been an email and finally got folks to wrap up.
Does the salary input factor in part-time vs full-time or just take the raw number as the hourly cost? Curious how it handles someone like a contractor billing a different rate than a salaried employee on the same call.
