Methodology
What’s the model behind this calculator?
Annual downtime cost = downtime hours per month × 12 × (average loaded hourly salary × users affected). Managed-IT savings assume a typical reduction in unplanned downtime of 60–80% post-onboarding (based on aggregated MSP industry benchmarks) plus 10–20% on reclaimed labor via better-automated patching / provisioning. The calculator uses conservative midpoints.
Why isn’t my industry-specific cost factored in?
This tool uses a generic "cost of one hour of downtime" driven by loaded salary. Industries like healthcare, e-commerce, or manufacturing often lose significantly more per hour (lost revenue, contractual penalties, regulatory exposure). Treat this calculator as a floor, not a ceiling. The detailed PDF report personalizes for your industry.
What counts as "downtime"?
Unplanned outages where a critical system is unreachable or degraded enough that work stops. Ticket-response delays don’t count unless the ticket’s open because something is actually broken. If your team is honest about this, the number is usually higher than the boss thinks.
Does switching really save what the calculator says?
Most mid-market clients hit the projected savings within 6–12 months of engagement. The variable is onboarding — a messy environment takes longer to stabilize. The detailed PDF factors that in based on your answers; the on-screen number is the steady-state projection.
