How this works?
How the calculator turns your flakiness signals into a yearly dollar cost.
Debug time per year
We multiply flaky failures per week by the minutes spent chasing each one, then scale to 52 weeks. Team size only changes the per-engineer hours shown alongside the total.
Cost of that time
Each engineer hour is the average salary divided by 2080 working hours. Debug hours times that rate is the labor cost of flakiness.
CI rerun cost
Every flaky failure triggers reruns. We multiply flakes per week by reruns per flake by your cost per CI run, across the year.
What it adds up to
Labor cost plus rerun cost is your annual flakiness bill. We also show it as engineer days lost so you can size the fix.

FAQs
We divide the average annual salary by 2080 working hours (40 hours a week across 52 weeks). This gives the base labor cost per hour. Fully loaded cost including benefits and overhead is higher, so treat the result as a floor.
