NOTES

Meeting Meter came out of a little project to teach myself Javascript and improve my mental health. The purpose of Meeting Meter is to capture the salary cost of holding a meeting.

To do this, attendees enter their name and their annual salary. The annual salary (and the verify annual salary) are entered in secure fields so that salary information remains private. The annual salary is converted to "salary per one second" by dividing the annual salary by the number of work-seconds in a year. This value is arbitrarily calculated as follows:

work-seconds-per-year = 52 weeks per year
        * 5 days per week
        * 8 hours per day
        * 60 minutes per hour
        * 60 seconds per minute

If your work schedule is different, adjust the value for your annual salary accordingly.

Meeting Meter can track up to 15 people in a meeting. If your meeting is larger than this, you can open multiple versions of Meeting Meter to keep track of the total cost.

The cost of the meeting is displayed in the text window in the top section. Attendees enter their name and salary info into the text windows in the middle section. To remove an attendee from the meeting list, click on their name in the list in the bottom section. Once an attendee has been removed, that entry in the attendee list cannot be reused.

The meeting cost is updated every second. When all attendees have been removed, the meeting cost is still updated every second but does not increase. The meeting cost does not start to increase until at least one attendee has been entered.

Please note that on some older browsers, the middle and bottom sections may be reversed. This will not affect the operation of Meeting Meter.

Use and enjoy. HarleyD13
