Downtime Cost Calculator
Estimate what an outage actually costs. Combine lost revenue and lost productivity to quantify the price of every hour of downtime.
Cómo Usar Esta Calculadora
Enter annual revenue and number of employees affected.
Add average hourly wage, outage duration, and % productivity lost.
We compute revenue-per-hour loss plus blocked labor cost.
See the total cost of the outage.
Preguntas Frecuentes
How do you calculate the cost of downtime?
Add lost revenue (revenue-per-hour × outage hours) to lost productivity (affected employees × hourly wage × hours × % blocked). The sum is your downtime cost.
How is revenue-per-hour estimated?
Annual revenue ÷ ~2,080 working hours gives a simple revenue-per-hour figure. For 24/7 businesses, divide by 8,760 hours instead.
Why include productivity, not just revenue?
Even if no sale is lost, idle employees still get paid while unable to work. That blocked labor is a real, often larger, cost of downtime.
What productivity-loss % should I use?
Depends how much of the team the outage blocks. A full system outage may block 80–100%; a single-tool outage might block 30–50%. Estimate conservatively.
How does this justify reliability spend?
If a few hours of downtime costs more than a year of better infrastructure or a backup tool, the investment pays for itself the first time it prevents an outage.
