When an IT problem stops someone working, the cost is not the salary on their contract. It is the fully loaded cost of employing them: salary plus employer National Insurance, pension and the overheads that sit behind every desk. This calculator turns an annual salary into that true cost to the firm, then breaks it down to the minute, so a delay can be measured rather than guessed at.
Use it to put a number against the disruptions you already recognise, and to weigh what reliable IT is worth to a firm your size. The defaults below reflect a typical UK working pattern. Adjust any of them to match your own.
The numbers are a guide for planning. They do not attempt to capture knock-on effects such as a missed client deadline, a delayed completion or the time other people lose waiting. In practice those push the real cost higher, which is the point worth holding on to: downtime is rarely as cheap as it looks.
If you would like to talk through what reliable IT is worth to a firm your size, get in touch and we will tell you what good looks like.
