How we calculate this
  1. Lost revenue = revenue per hour × downtime duration in hours.
  2. Cost of one outage = lost revenue + recovery costs + lost productivity + customer churn and reputational impact.
  3. Cost per minute = cost of one outage ÷ downtime duration in minutes.
  4. Yearly cost = cost of one outage × outages per year.

This calculator provides an estimate. Actual downtime costs can also include SLA penalties, regulatory costs, lost opportunities, and longer-term customer churn.
