Cyber Insurance Recovery Time Calculator

Estimate how long it may take to restore operations and receive cyber insurance proceeds after an incident. This calculator separates operational recovery from claim settlement, accounts for tasks that can run in parallel, and shows the funding gap between restoration and payment. It supports contingency planning and liquidity discussions, but actual timing depends on incident scope, vendors, documentation, policy terms, and insurer review.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter values from one consistent reporting period.
  2. Adjust editable rates to match your policy, platform, or funnel.
  3. Select Calculate and review the main result plus supporting metrics.
  4. Change one assumption at a time to compare scenarios.

Formula

Operational recovery = containment + restoration × (1 − overlap rate) + validation. Claim payment time = notice preparation + insurer review. Funding gap = max(claim payment time − operational recovery, 0).

What the result means

The main result summarizes the scenario created by the entered values. Supporting results expose the components so you can identify which assumption drives the outcome.

This calculator provides an estimate for planning. Confirm platform terms, policy wording, fees, taxes, and accounting treatment with the appropriate provider or adviser.

Example calculation

With 3 days containment, 7 days restoration, 30% overlap, and 2 days validation, operations recover in 9.9 days. A 2-day notice plus 45-day review means payment in 47 days, leaving a 37.1-day funding gap.

Tips for better results

  • Use recent, documented values rather than optimistic guesses.
  • Keep the reporting period consistent across every input.
  • Test a conservative and an optimistic scenario.
  • Update rates whenever policy or platform terms change.
  • Save the assumptions alongside the result for later comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Which audience or loss period should I use?

Use one consistent monthly or annual period matching the labels and your planning records.

Can I enter zero for an input?

Yes where zero is meaningful; denominators and required positive contribution values are validated separately.

Does the estimate include taxes?

No. Add taxes to costs or deductions only when they apply to your situation.

How should percentages be entered?

Enter the displayed percentage as a whole number, such as 5 for 5%.

Can this result predict actual performance?

No. It is a scenario estimate based entirely on the assumptions you enter.
