The taxi meter for meetings.

Pick your team size, set an average salary, and hit Start. The bill ticks up every second — exactly like the live site. The longer it runs, the more it stings.

Inside the tool

Built to make waste impossible to ignore.

Every feature points at one outcome: turning an abstract 'we meet too much' into a number on screen that nobody can argue with.

Real-time ticking cost meter

Converts each attendee's annual salary to a per-second rate (salary / 2,080 hrs / 3,600s), multiplies by headcount, and accumulates live — total, cost per second, and elapsed time all update every tick like a taxi meter.

Preset team sizes for instant setup

One-tap attendee presets mirror real meeting types: Standup (3), Small (5), Team (10), Large (20), All-Hands (50), plus a manual count.

Salary or hourly + multi-currency

Toggle between Annual Salary and Hourly Rate compensation, with 8 currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, INR, BRL).

Shareable meeting summary

Post-meeting breakdown of total cost, duration, cost per minute, and cost per person — with copy-results and share-to-social to call out wasteful meetings publicly.

Privacy-first, no data collection

Runs entirely in the browser with no tracking and nothing stored, plus a dark/light mode toggle.

Productivity blog + 'Meeting Or Not?' quiz

An SEO content hub (meeting-audit checklists, deep-work pieces) and a companion quiz that helps decide whether a meeting is even necessary.

The build

A persuasive tool on a humble stack.

No framework, no tracking — just hand-written JavaScript fast enough to feel instant and credible enough to change behavior.

The Challenge

"We have too many meetings" is easy to say and easy to ignore. The cost is real but invisible — spread across calendars and salaries no one adds up. The tool had to make that cost felt, instantly, by anyone, with zero setup.

The Approach

A ticking meter as the entire interface. Salaries become a per-second rate, multiplied by the room and the clock. Presets remove friction, the number does the persuading, and an SEO content hub plus a "Meeting Or Not?" quiz pull in the people who need it.

The Result

A shareable, privacy-first calculator that reframes meetings as spend. It arms managers and HR with a single, undeniable number — the kind that ends a standing invite and earns a meeting-free day.
