Meeting spend is one of the last big opportunities for double digit savings

For many companies, meetings and lodging account for a significant share of total travel and meeting spend. Yet meetings often still sit outside structured workflows — spread across emails, spreadsheets, disconnected suppliers, and manual approvals. That creates leakage, limited visibility, inconsistent compliance, and unnecessary administrative work. HRS helps turn that fragmented process into one connected, measurable workflow.

All results are estimates. Simple meeting spend = 23% of T&E (or 70% of M&E if provided). Average simple meeting cost: $7,336.52. Hotel meeting spend = 96% of simple meeting spend (or 22.1% of T&E when M&E not provided). Cost avoidance: 12% on hotel meeting spend. Savings: 15% on simple meeting spend. Actual results will vary. For indicative purposes only.

Why two formulas? Both paths assume meeting & event spend runs at roughly a third (≈33%) of total T&E — a typical industry ratio. When you enter M&E directly, we use that. When you don't, we work back to the same numbers from your T&E figure using the 33% benchmark. Either way the calculator should give you a consistent answer; entering M&E just sharpens the precision.
