Free IT Tools for Business Planning

Use practical estimates to start a conversation about IT risk, downtime, and business continuity. These tools help you explore assumptions; they are not a substitute for an assessment of your systems.

IT Downtime Cost Calculator

Explore how an interruption could affect your business using monthly revenue, employee count, average hourly employee cost, estimated annual downtime, and an industry impact adjustment.

How to Use Your Estimate

  1. Start with figures that reflect your business and note any assumptions.
  2. Compare scenarios with different downtime estimates to understand the range of potential impact.
  3. Use the results to prioritize questions about backups, recovery, support, and continuity planning.

The calculator produces an illustrative estimate, not a forecast or a guarantee of loss or savings. Real impact depends on the systems affected, timing, and recovery process.
