Calculate allowed downtime from an uptime target, or the uptime implied by observed outages. Includes reference values from 99% to 99.99%.

Allowed / implied downtime
43 minutes, 11 seconds
| Target | 30-day month | 365-day year |
|---|---|---|
| 99% | 7 hours, 12 minutes | 3 days, 15 hours, 36 minutes |
| 99.5% | 3 hours, 36 minutes | 1 day, 19 hours, 48 minutes |
| 99.9% | 43 minutes, 11 seconds | 8 hours, 45 minutes, 35 seconds |
| 99.95% | 21 minutes, 35 seconds | 4 hours, 22 minutes, 47 seconds |
| 99.99% | 4 minutes, 19 seconds | 52 minutes, 33 seconds |
99.9% uptime allows 43.2 minutes of downtime in a 30-day month and 8.77 hours in a 365-day year. 99.99% allows 4.32 minutes per 30-day month.
All calculations run locally. No availability data is collected.
The default planning month is 30 days (720 hours). A year is 365 days unless you switch to 365.25 for leap-year averaging. These are standard operations conventions, not billing-cycle calendars.
Only if your contract says so. Some SLAs exclude announced windows. The calculator is mathematical; contract language still decides what counts.
An SLA is a budget for downtime, not a promise of zero incidents. Use this tool to translate the budget into minutes you can actually operate against.

Estimators and converters help you think. Delivery still needs contracts, environments, and an owner.
