MeetingTax

Show your team the dollar cost of every meeting in real-time.

The Problem

Companies waste $37 billion per year on unproductive meetings. People do not realize that a 1-hour meeting with 8 senior engineers costs $800+. Without visibility into the cost, meeting culture never improves.

The Solution

A calendar integration that calculates the real-time dollar cost of every meeting based on attendee salaries. Shows a running "meeting tax" per team and per person. Weekly reports identify the most expensive recurring meetings.

Competitive Landscape

Clockwise optimizes calendars. Reclaim.ai blocks focus time. Neither shows dollar costs. A few simple calculators exist online but nothing integrates with live calendar data.

Why Now?

Efficiency culture post-2023. Companies cut headcount and now need to maximize the output of remaining employees. Meeting reduction is the lowest-hanging fruit.
