At the 50% cut you entered
- Check:These are your own assumptions, not a promise of results. Use realistic outage counts from your past year.
Method
How the numbers are worked out
Cost of an hour
Staff × cost per hour × share of work lost, plus revenue lost per hour.
Per outage and per year
Hourly cost × outage length, plus recovery cost, then × outages a year.
What prevention saves
The yearly cost × the share of downtime you expect to avoid, set against the yearly cost of support, if you enter one.
Assumptions and limits
- Everything here is your own input. The tool does not know your business and makes no promise about results.
- Left out: reputation, customer loss, data loss, and regulatory cost. Real losses are usually higher.
- Support has value beyond fewer outages: security updates, backups, planned upgrades and a single point of contact.
