Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate the cost of a meeting?▼

The formula is: (Avg Hourly Rate × Attendees) × Hours. For example, 5 people earning $50/hr meeting for 1 hour costs exactly $250.

What is a good meeting cost ratio?▼

Ideally, internal meetings should consume less than 15% of your team's total payroll. Anything above 20% indicates a broken culture.

Do I need to sign up?▼

No. Unlike tools like Clockify or Toggl, Lazy Cost is designed for instant use. No accounts, no credit cards, no setup.
