Downtime cost calculator
Estimate the cost of an outage from three numbers you already know: how many sites or devices go dark, what each one is worth per hour, and how long the outage lasts. The result is your own illustrative estimate, computed live in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Your illustrative estimate for a single outage
This is an illustrative estimate based only on the figures you entered. It is your own calculation, not a claim or guarantee by Offline Protocol, and it does not account for recovery costs, penalties, or reputational impact.
Why outages are worth modelling
Cited industry context. These figures are the sources' own estimates and are separate from the number the calculator produces from your inputs.
Internet shutdowns in 2025
Access Now recorded 313 internet shutdowns across 52 countries in 2025. Loss of connectivity is frequent, not exceptional.
Estimated cost of blackouts
Blackouts were estimated to cost roughly 19.7 billion dollars globally in 2025, a measure of what lost connectivity and power cost at scale.
Per hour, one cloud outage
Forbes reported a single major cloud outage estimated at about 75 million dollars per hour, a reminder that one dependency can carry enormous exposure.
How Offline Protocol reduces this exposure
The exposure above assumes that when the network drops, the work stops. Offline Protocol removes that assumption. It is an offline transport, identity, and coordination layer that keeps devices talking to each other over BLE and WiFi Direct when the internet is gone, so operations keep coordinating through the outage instead of going dark.
Coordination survives the outage
Devices keep coordinating device-to-device over a multi-hop mesh when the router, ISP, or upstream provider is down, so the hours in your estimate become hours you can still operate through.
Explore the platform →Retail and point of sale keep moving
Registers, handhelds, and the back office stay coordinated during an internet outage, with signed transactions queued and reconciled when a link returns. Authorization stays with your processor.
Offline point of sale →Fleets and sites stay connected
Vehicles, handhelds, and site infrastructure keep coordinating in dead zones and through outages, so telematics, gate checks, and dispatch do not strand where coverage ends.

How is the downtime cost estimated?
The calculator multiplies three numbers you enter: the number of sites or devices affected, the revenue or cost per hour for each one, and the outage duration in hours. The result is your own estimate based on your own figures. It is a simple illustrative model, not a claim by Offline Protocol, and it does not account for recovery costs, reputational impact, or partial degradation.
Is the calculated figure a guarantee of loss?
No. It is an illustrative estimate driven entirely by the inputs you provide. Real outage cost depends on many factors this simple model does not capture, including time of day, seasonality, service-level penalties, and recovery effort. Treat the number as a starting point for your own analysis.
Does Offline Protocol claim a specific savings number?
No. The calculator only computes your inputs and never fabricates an Offline-Protocol-specific savings figure. What Offline Protocol provides is an offline transport, identity, and coordination layer that keeps devices coordinating during outages, which reduces exposure to the kind of downtime this tool helps you quantify.
Where do the cited industry figures come from?
The context figures are from published sources: Access Now recorded 313 internet shutdowns across 52 countries in 2025, blackouts were estimated to cost roughly 19.7 billion dollars globally in 2025, and Forbes reported a single major cloud outage estimated at about 75 million dollars per hour. These are cited for context and are separate from your own calculated estimate.
