Frequently Asked Questions
How is the cost calculated?
Total cost = number of attendees multiplied by average hourly rate multiplied by duration in hours.
Can I use different currencies?
The calculator uses dollar signs by default, but you can enter any currency amount as the hourly rate.
Does the live timer affect the planned calculation?
No. The live timer runs independently and uses the same attendees and hourly rate inputs.
What is a typical hourly rate to use?
A common approach is to use the fully loaded cost (salary plus benefits plus overhead), which is typically 1.3 to 1.5 times the base hourly rate.
