How much does IT downtime cost you? Work it out in five minutes.
Ten fields and a result in three scenarios. We only count what you can defend in front of the board: lost margin and real additional costs, with staff time shown separately.
What this result doesn't include yet.
The quick mode deliberately underestimates. If the figure already looks significant, the full calculator will show how much bigger the picture is.
- how the outage unfolds in phases: partial degradation, workarounds and catching up
- data loss and re-entry
- cost of technical recovery and replacement equipment
- contractual penalties, compensation and refunds to customers
- impact of a cyber incident and obligations after a data breach
- annual risk exposure and the return on safeguards
Full calculator in Excel, free of charge.
Seventeen sheets: processes, systems and dependencies, failure scenarios, data and recovery, risk and the return on safeguards, plus a one-page report for the management board. It also works in Google Sheets.
- no macros and no internet connections
- no sign-up, no email required
- result as a range, not a single number
Questions about the calculator.
Why is the result three numbers and not one?
Because the length of an outage isn't known in advance. The low, base and high scenarios show a range. Base your decisions about safeguards on the base scenario and check whether the high one is acceptable.
Why don't you add salaries to the loss?
Because you pay salaries regardless of the failure. We show the value of people's unused time separately as an operational measure. Adding it to the lost margin would count the same cost twice.
Does the data I enter go anywhere?
No. The calculator runs in your browser and doesn't send anything. The Excel file has no macros or internet connections either.
What if the result is high?
It's a sign to check what would shorten downtime: monitoring, backups with restore testing, a backup internet connection or a shorter response time in your contract. That's where we start in the free IT review.
