Downtime cost calculator
Answer a few quick questions to estimate the operational cost of downtime - idle staff, unrecoverable production and recovery costs. This is an estimate, and we show you exactly how it is calculated.
We're engineers at heart, so we couldn't resist building a proper calculator rather than a vague "get in touch to find out" - the sums are shown below, not hidden behind a form wall.
Estimated cost of this outage
£0
£0 per hour
| Idle staff cost | £0 |
| Unrecoverable gross profit | £0 |
| Recovery, overtime and penalties | £0 |
Based on similar incidents per year, your estimated annual exposure is £0.
This estimate does not include the potential value of lost future orders, damaged customer relationships or reputational harm.
How the estimate is calculated
Estimated downtime cost = idle labour + unrecoverable gross profit + recovery costs. Idle labour is affected staff × loaded hourly employment cost × downtime hours × time actually lost. Unrecoverable production is gross profit per production hour × downtime hours × percentage of production affected × percentage that cannot be recovered. Delayed orders are not treated as permanently lost revenue.
