How this works

Most UK SMEs underestimate meeting cost by a factor of two. A 45-minute meeting with five people costs about £170 in wage time alone. Run that twice a week and you have £17,000 a year going into the same room.

We take your four inputs and multiply them out: people × meeting length × meetings per week × hourly rate × 46 working weeks. Forty-six is the UK working year — 52 minus 4 weeks holiday minus roughly 2 weeks of bank holidays and sick. We round the headline to the nearest £10.

The 30% reduction estimate is the kind of trim we typically find in an Assessment — usually one standing meeting replaced with a shared doc and one weekly call replaced with a 5-minute Loom. It’s a sense-check, not a precise measurement.

52 minus 4 weeks annual leave minus roughly 2 weeks of bank holidays and sick. Adjust mentally if your team works differently.

It's a rough rule of thumb from the kinds of meetings we typically cut inside an Assessment — usually 1-2 standing meetings replaced with a Loom or a shared doc.
