Database downtime cost calculator
Estimate the annual cost of database-driven outages — lost revenue plus engineer surge time. Use it to size monitoring budget vs incident risk.
Revenue lost
$7.3k/ yr
$30 / minute of DB downtime
Engineer time
$3.6k/ yr
5 incidents · 4 on call
Total annual exposure
$10.9k/ yr
Lost revenue + responder surge
Cost model: revenue lost is proportional to DB-dependent revenue and downtime minutes. Engineer cost applies a 1.5× surge multiplier (context-switching, after-hours premium, post-mortem time) to the on-call team’s hourly rate during each incident.
