How this is calculated

Direct IT costs are the four amounts you enter, added together. Lost productivity is the number of employees, times the hours each loses to IT problems in a month, times the average hourly wage, times 12 months. Every figure comes from what you enter; the calculator adds no industry averages of its own.
