💰 ROI Calculator: Is 24/7 Support Worth It?

Calculate the potential savings and benefits of implementing 24/7 IT support for your business.

Due to IT downtime (9 hours/month)

With 24/7 Support

$315

Reduced downtime (90% improvement)

Monthly Savings

$2,835

Net benefit after support costs

📊 How We Calculated This:
Base Assumptions:
  • 25 employees × $35/hour average wage
  • 9 hours of IT downtime per month
  • 90% reduction in downtime with 24/7 support
Calculation:
  • Current Loss: 25 × $35 × 9 hours = $7,875
  • With 24/7: 25 × $35 × 0.9 hours = $787.50
  • Monthly Savings: $7,875 - $787.50 = $7,087.50
  • Net Savings: $7,087.50 - $4,252.50 (support cost) = $2,835
