Downtime Cost Calculator
Estimate direct staff, revenue and recovery costs for a service interruption.
Use figures from your own operation. The result is an indicative planning model, not a quotation or guarantee.
Your result
Enter or adjust the assumptions, then calculate.
How this works
Estimated cost = staff × hourly cost × outage hours + affected revenue per hour × outage hours + recovery cost.
Hypothetical worked example
If 30 staff are unable to work for three hours, the labour component alone is NGN 252,000 before revenue impact or recovery work.
How to interpret the result
Use the output to compare scenarios and expose the assumptions that have the greatest effect. Validate the figures with process owners, finance and technical teams before making a purchasing decision.
Assumptions and limitations
- Inputs are supplied by you and are not verified by REVTEK.
- Taxes, financing, supplier terms and operational variation may be excluded.
- An estimate should be tested with measured data and sensitivity scenarios.
Common mistakes
- Using best-case assumptions only
- Ignoring support, adoption and exception handling
- Treating a calculated result as a supplier commitment
Practical next steps
- Confirm input figures with accountable owners.
- Run conservative, expected and optimistic scenarios.
- Document exclusions and review the estimate after implementation.
