Error Budget Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Error Budget (EB) is:

$EB = (1 - \frac{SLO}{100}) \times 100$

Where:

$EB$ is the Error Budget (%)
$SLO$ is the service level objective (%)

What is Error Budget?

An Error Budget is a concept used in service level management to define the acceptable level of downtime or errors within a given period. It is calculated by subtracting the Service Level Objective (SLO) from 100%. The error budget allows for a measurable amount of downtime or errors while still maintaining a high standard of service quality.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Service Level Objective (SLO) = 99.9%

Using the formula to calculate the Error Budget (EB):

$EB = (1 - \frac{SLO}{100}) \times 100 = (1 - \frac{99.9}{100}) \times 100 = (1 - 0.999) \times 100 = 0.1 \%$

The Error Budget (EB) is 0.1%.
