Estimate an operational downtime cost from hours unavailable and a user-supplied cost per hour.
Downtime Cost Scenario Calculator
Formula
How to use the result
Only use a cost-per-hour assumption that has a defensible business meaning; this tool is not appropriate for personal injury, safety or life-critical consequences.
What the calculator does not know
This site does not diagnose faults or provide repair instructions. Stop using items that may be unsafe, recalled, electrically hazardous, fire-damaged, structurally compromised, leaking dangerous substances or otherwise safety-critical, and follow manufacturer, recall-authority and qualified service-professional guidance.
Improve the estimate
Keep the inputs used for the decision and compare the estimate with actual results. A simple calculator is most useful when it makes the assumptions visible enough to learn from the difference.
