IT Downtime Cost Calculator

"We'll sort backups later" is easy to say until the day the systems go down. This calculator turns an IT outage into a real number, so you can decide how much resilience is actually worth. Everything runs in your browser.

A rough guide, not a quote. It counts idle staff time and any revenue you lose while systems are down. It does not include reputational damage, overtime to catch up, or lost data, which usually make the real figure higher.

That number too high for comfort?

Tested backups, monitoring and a recovery plan turn a crisis into an inconvenience. A free IT audit tells you exactly where your resilience gaps are.
