Downtime Cost Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Downtime Cost (DC) is:

\[ DC = DT \times ARU \]

Where:

$ DC $ is the Downtime Cost ($)
$ DT $ is the Total Downtime (hr)
$ ARU $ is the Average Revenue per Hour during Uptime ($/hr)

What is Downtime Cost?

Downtime cost is a measure of the financial impact of downtime on a business. It is calculated by multiplying the total downtime by the average revenue per hour during uptime. This metric helps businesses understand the cost implications of downtime and can be used to justify investments in reliability and maintenance improvements.

Example

Let's say the total downtime (DT) is 5 hours, and the average revenue per hour (ARU) is $1,000. Using the formula:

\[ DC = 5 \times 1,000 = 5,000 \]

So, the Downtime Cost (DC) is $5,000.

Average Cost of Downtime

Definition: The average cost of downtime is the financial impact experienced by a company due to the unavailability of its systems or services.

Formula: $ \text{Cost of Downtime} = \text{Minutes of Downtime} \times \text{Cost per Minute} $

$ \text{Cost of Downtime} $: Total financial impact
$ \text{Minutes of Downtime} $: Duration of the downtime
$ \text{Cost per Minute} $: Financial loss per minute of downtime

Example: $ \text{Cost of Downtime} = 60 \times 5000 $

Minutes of Downtime: 60 minutes
Cost per Minute: $5000

How to Calculate Downtime

Definition: Calculating downtime involves determining the total time a system or service is unavailable within a specific period.

Formula: $ \text{Downtime Percentage} = \frac{\text{Downtime}}{\text{Total Time}} \times 100 $

$ \text{Downtime Percentage} $: Percentage of time the system was down
$ \text{Downtime} $: Total downtime duration
$ \text{Total Time} $: Total monitoring period

Example: $ \text{Downtime Percentage} = \frac{120}{1440} \times 100 $

Downtime: 120 minutes
Total Time: 1440 minutes (1 day)

Calculate Expected Annual Cost of Downtime

Definition: This calculation estimates the annual financial impact of downtime based on historical data and expected downtime frequency.

Formula: $ \text{Annual Downtime Cost} = \text{Downtime Cost per Incident} \times \text{Number of Incidents per Year} $

$ \text{Annual Downtime Cost} $: Total annual cost of downtime
$ \text{Downtime Cost per Incident} $: Cost of a single downtime incident
$ \text{Number of Incidents per Year} $: Expected number of downtime incidents annually

Example: $ \text{Annual Downtime Cost} = 10000 \times 12 $

Downtime Cost per Incident: $10,000
Number of Incidents per Year: 12

Calculate Downtime in Minutes

Definition: This calculation determines the total downtime in minutes over a specific period.

Formula: $ \text{Total Downtime} = \text{Downtime Hours} \times 60 + \text{Downtime Minutes} $

$ \text{Total Downtime} $: Total downtime in minutes
$ \text{Downtime Hours} $: Hours of downtime
$ \text{Downtime Minutes} $: Additional minutes of downtime

Example: $ \text{Total Downtime} = 2 \times 60 + 30 $

Downtime Hours: 2 hours
Downtime Minutes: 30 minutes

How to Calculate Downtime in Production

Definition: Calculating downtime in production involves determining the total time production is halted due to equipment failure or other issues.

Formula: $ \text{Production Downtime} = \text{Scheduled Production Time} - \text{Actual Production Time} $

$ \text{Production Downtime} $: Total downtime in production
$ \text{Scheduled Production Time} $: Planned production time
$ \text{Actual Production Time} $: Actual time production was running

Example: $ \text{Production Downtime} = 480 - 450 $

Scheduled Production Time: 480 minutes (8 hours)
Actual Production Time: 450 minutes
