Each additional nine in an uptime percentage sounds like a small difference on paper, 99.9 percent versus 99.99 percent, but the actual allowable downtime behind those numbers changes dramatically, roughly nine hours a year at three nines, down to about five minutes a year at five nines, a gap that's easy to underestimate until it's translated into actual hours and minutes rather than left as an abstract percentage. This tool calculates exactly how much downtime a given SLA percentage actually allows across a year, a month, and a day, turning an uptime commitment into concrete, comparable time figures.

Useful for understanding what a vendor's uptime guarantee actually promises in real hours rather than an abstract percentage, comparing two SLA offers by their actual allowed downtime instead of just their percentage, or checking whether an internal system's actual uptime record still meets a stated SLA commitment.

Quick answers for SLA Uptime Calculator

What SLA range can I enter?
A slider and a linked number input both range from 90% to 99.999% in steps of 0.001%, so you can dial in figures like the common 99.9% or 99.95% precisely.
Does it only show downtime for one time period at a time?
No, a grid shows allowed downtime for year, month, week, day, and hour all at once, with whichever period you've selected highlighted and given an exact minutes figure underneath.
How precise is the downtime figure?
The highlighted period shows allowed downtime to 4 decimal places in minutes, while the grid cells switch to a rounded minutes or hours display depending on which is more readable for that period.
