Failure and production-interruption cost calculator

A repair bill alone omits the lost production contribution during an outage.

Cfailure=Crepair+Hdown×cdownC_{\text{failure}} = C_{\text{repair}} + H_{\text{down}} \times c_{\text{down}}

Calculator

Enter the values you know and leave one box empty. Calculate finds the empty one, the result or any input.

Worked example

Given

  • CrepairC_{\text{repair}} = 2,400 $
  • HdownH_{\text{down}} = 7 h
  • cdownc_{\text{down}} = 850 $/h
Cfailure=2400+7×850=8,350C_{\text{failure}} = 2400 + 7 \times 850 = 8{,}350
