What is the uptime calculator?

The uptime calculator converts an availability percentage into the actual uptime and downtime it allows per day, week, month and year. For example, 99.9% availability still allows about 43 minutes of downtime per month.

Use it to understand the SLA of a hosting provider, to set realistic targets for your own services, or to explain to your team what each extra nine really means.
