Free SLA Uptime Calculator

Calculate how much downtime your SLA allows. Enter any uptime percentage (like 99.9% or 99.99%) to see exact downtime periods per day, week, month, and year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 99.9% uptime mean?

99.9% uptime means your service can be down for up to 8 hours and 45 minutes per year, which breaks down to about 43 minutes and 50 seconds per month. This is a common SLA level for many web services.

How much downtime does 99.99% uptime allow?

99.99% uptime allows for 52 minutes and 35 seconds of downtime per year, or about 4 minutes and 23 seconds per month. This is considered "high availability" and requires robust infrastructure.

What's the difference between 99.9% and 99.99% uptime?

The difference is significant: 99.9% allows 8.76 hours of downtime per year, while 99.99% only allows 52.6 minutes per year - that's about 10 times less downtime. The cost and complexity of achieving 99.99% is much higher.

How is uptime percentage calculated?

Uptime percentage is calculated as:

(Total time - Downtime) / Total time × 100

For example, if a service is down for 1 hour in a month (730 hours, on average), the uptime would be:
(730 - 1) / 730 × 100 = 99.86%

      I tried @RozenMD's OnlineOrNot uptime monitoring, and for a few days got notifications of 2min down time.

      I thought that OnlineOrNot was wrong as Uptime Robot wasn't reporting anything.

      Turns out it was the other way around.

    • We've been using OnlineOrNot and it has been a life saver.

      It, by far, has been one of the most responsive uptime services we've tried and it only gets better and better as time goes on.

    • I just set up some site aliveness checks for @Archium_io with @RozenMD's OnlineOrNot.

      Took me less than five minutes and it was completely self-explanatory, not to mention gorgeous. Seriously good experience.

      Great job, Max! 👏👏
