Quantify the cost of an outage and plan recovery. Enter your revenue and any productivity or SLA-penalty add-ons to compute the cost of downtime at several durations, set per-system RTO (max tolerable downtime) and RPO (max tolerable data-loss window) targets against current capability to flag recovery gaps, and check your backups against the 3-2-1 rule. Aligned to BCDR / ISO 22301. Word + CSV.
For each system enter the target RTO (max tolerable downtime) and RPO (max tolerable data loss), and your current capability (how fast you can actually recover, and your backup interval = the most data you could lose). A gap is flagged when capability is worse than the target. All times are in hours.
🔄 This calculator estimates downtime cost and helps you document RTO (recovery time objective — max tolerable downtime) and RPO (recovery point objective — max tolerable data-loss window) targets for backup / disaster-recovery planning, aligned to ISO 22301 business continuity and the 3-2-1 backup rule (3 copies, 2 media types, 1 offsite — ideally also 1 immutable/air-gapped). Cost figures are planning estimates from the inputs you provide, not a guaranteed loss; calculations run entirely in your browser and nothing is transmitted. Validate every RTO/RPO against a documented Business Impact Analysis and your own contracts, and have a competent person review the plan.
