The Hidden Cost Calculator – Know Your Downtime Costs

  The Hidden Cost Calculator is an opportunity for you to determine the Hidden Cost of Downtime for your company on a confidential basis. To do so, you'll need to enter the ten inputs described below under "Calculator Inputs". Or, if you wish, enter the inputs you know and use the defaults shown in the entry buttons. The Calculator Outputs - Asset Revenue Potential, etc. - will be shown in the table adjacent to the inputs. The final, proprietary Hidden Cost of Downtime amount for your company will be depicted in the Interpolation Table along with the component costs.
