Understand Your Downtime Costs

Website downtime directly impacts your revenue. Our uptime calculator helps you understand the true cost of outages and set appropriate SLA targets for your business.

What is Uptime and Why Does it Matter?

Uptime refers to the percentage of time your website or service is operational and accessible. Industry standards aim for '9s' of availability - 99.9% (three nines) allows about 8.7 hours of downtime per year, while 99.99% (four nines) allows only 52 minutes.

Downtime Cost Formula

Revenue Loss = (Hourly Revenue × Downtime Hours) + (Lost Trust × Customer Lifetime Value)
