Frequently asked questions
- What salary should I enter?
- Use a reasonable average annual salary across attendees.
- Are benefits included?
- No. The estimate uses salary only, so loaded employment cost would be higher.
- Does a high cost mean cancel the meeting?
- Not necessarily. Compare the cost with decisions, coordination or risk reduction the meeting produces.
