How to Calculate the True Cost of Website Downtime?
Real downtime cost is more than lost revenue per minute. Engineers respond, recovery takes longer than the outage itself (mitigation × 1.5 in our model), SLA credits eat into monthly revenue, and reputational damage compounds. Use this calculator to justify investments in monitoring, redundancy, and on-call tooling.
