Where these figures come from
Pay is the median annual wage for general and operations managers (SOC 11-1021) in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025 national estimates, released 15 May 2026. Half of people in the role earn more and half earn less. Each hourly rate is the annual figure divided by 2,080 working hours, the same basis as our meeting cost calculator.
These are wages only. Benefits, payroll taxes and overheads are not included, so the real cost of each hour is higher. Pay also varies widely by city, industry and seniority: if you know your own team’s salaries, enter them in the calculator above.
