Downtime Cost Calculator

How much does downtime of your IT operations cost your organization?

Below are some examples of the cost of downtime. It's easy to justify the cost of preventative maintenance and proactive network support when you know the true cost of not supporting the network properly. In most cases, the entire cost of our service can be offset by virtually eliminating downtime and lost productivity.

Instructions: To use the calculator, just fill in the blanks under the "Your Employee" column. For the "Employee Annual Salary" field, just use the overall average salary of your employees. If you don't know the annual sales per employee or if that doesn't apply to your organization, just leave that field blank. Then enter your downtime and employee figures and click the Calculate button. The cost of downtime may surprise you!
