Formula:

Formula for Downtime Financial Loss:

Total Loss = (HPR × DD) + (NEA × HEPC × DD) + DRC

  • HPR = Hourly Profit/Revenue (average revenue generated per hour before downtime)
  • DD = Downtime Duration (in hours)
  • NEA = Number of Employees Affected (employees whose productivity is lost)
  • HEPC = Hourly Employee Productive Cost (average fully loaded cost per affected employee per hour)
  • DRC = Direct Recovery Costs (e.g., repair services, emergency support)

This formula helps you estimate the direct financial costs incurred during a period of operational downtime, considering both lost potential income and ongoing operational expenses.
