Meeting load

15 meeting hours a week is 750 hours a year.

At a $40 kept hour, that is $30,000. Your hour is probably not $40. Put the real salary in. Send the link to the person who owns the recurring invite, or just to yourself, before you accept next quarter’s series.

The calculator stays free. The $39 sheet is a human check of the same numbers, not a locked file.

A fair rule

Keep a meeting only if it names a decision, a draft, or a risk that moves this week. Status can be a paragraph. If the series cannot say which of the three it is, the year-cost above is the cost of politeness.

Cutting 15 hours to half is 375 hours back. That is the cleanest raise available without a new job.
