FAQ

How is the cost calculated?

Cost = integer attendees × hourly cost × loaded cost factor × duration. The live timer adds the same estimate second by second.

How does annual salary become an hourly cost?

Annual salary is divided by your annual working-hours assumption. The default is 2,080 hours, and you can change it.

What is the loaded cost factor?

An optional estimate for benefits, payroll taxes and management overhead. Enter your own organization’s factor; 1.00 means no uplift.
