How to Use This Calculator

  • Error Duration: Length of the outage or error period in minutes
  • % Requests Failing: Percentage of requests that failed during the error period
  • Uptime Window: The time period to measure availability against (e.g., 30 days = 43,200 minutes)
  • SLA/Desired Uptime: Your target uptime percentage (e.g., 99.9%)

The calculator uses the formula:

(error duration × % failing) ÷ (uptime window
× (1 - desired uptime))
