Cost Savings Calculation
Is $1.2M Accurate? What Could My Company Expect To Save?

The $1.2M figure is actually conservative. With typical salary assumptions, a 20% meeting reduction for 500 employees could theoretically free up $3-5M worth of employee time annually.

However, this represents opportunity cost (time that could be redirected to productive work), not direct cash savings. You’ll see it in capacity, productivity, and employee satisfaction.

Assumptions
  • Average fully-loaded employee cost: ~$75,000-$100,000/year (salary + benefits + overhead)
  • Average time spent in meetings: 15-25 hours/week for knowledge workers
  • Let’s use middle estimates: $85,000 fully-loaded cost, 20 hours/week in meetings
Calculation
  • Hourly cost per employee: $85,000 ÷ 2,080 hours = ~$41/hour
  • Weekly meeting hours per employee: 20 hours
  • Annual meeting hours: 20 × 52 = 1,040 hours/employee
  • Annual meeting cost per employee: 1,040 × $41 = ~$42,640
  • Total meeting cost for 500 employees: $42,640 × 500 = ~$21.3M
  • 20% reduction: $21.3M × 0.20 = ~$4.26M
