IT Downtime Cost Calculator
"The internet is down" feels like an annoyance. It's actually a number — and most businesses have never worked it out. Thirty seconds with three sliders will.
One hour of downtime costs you roughly
€225
A one-day outage: €1,800 · A ransomware week: €9,000
Now the useful part: the things that prevent most downtime — tested backups (from €199), a proper firewall, monitoring that catches failures early, and a retainer with fast response (from €249/mo) — usually cost less per year than the number above costs per day. That's the whole argument, honestly made.
