IT Downtime Cost Calculator

When systems go down, staff stop, care records are unreachable and NDIS visits go unbilled. See what unplanned IT downtime is really costing your organisation - and what proactive managed IT could save.

Not everyone downs tools at once - set the realistic proportion.
Outages, slow systems, email down, can't access client records - add up the little stoppages too.
Used to estimate how much of your downtime is preventable.

See your full annual cost & managed-IT saving

We'll unlock the full annual figure, the estimated saving from proactive managed IT, and a downtime-proofing summary for your organisation.

Assumptions: cost per hour of downtime = staff who need IT × average hourly staff cost × share of staff affected. Monthly cost = cost per hour × downtime hours (plus any revenue-at-risk per outage, counted once per month). Annual cost = monthly × 12. The managed-IT saving models proactive full MSP monitoring reducing unplanned downtime by an estimated 60–80% (we apply 70%) versus the downtime you have today; if you selected "Full MSP" we assume you already capture most of that benefit and model a smaller further gain. Typical managed-IT spend shown for comparison is a broad market estimate (~$120 per relevant user per month) and varies widely by size, systems and scope. Hourly staff cost should include wages plus on-costs (super, leave, allowances). These are general estimates for information only - not financial, legal, clinical or IT advice. Your actual costs and savings depend on your systems, contracts and risk profile. Confirm with a proper assessment before making decisions.
