We got tired of not having a good cheat sheet at hand to convert uptime percentages to downtime and vice versa, so we made one. Hopefully you will find it useful (I know we will).
You can download the PDF version here.
Print it out and use it as a reference when you need to quickly check how much downtime in a month 99.5% uptime actually allows for (just an example). It’s very handy. All information on just one page!
Here below is a smaller version for your convenience that you can use as long as your eyesight isn’t too bad. 
Again, the full PDF version is available here.
We hope you like it!

Out of the 59 US-based e-commerce sites we monitored during the holiday season last year 28 scored a perfect 100% uptime for December.
Whether this helped spur on the booming sales in the US, we don’t know, but retail e-commerce spending in the US reached $37.2 billion for the November to December 2011 period. That was an increase of 15% from the same period in 2010.
We decided to dig into the numbers for these e-commerce sites to see how well they did in terms of uptime and performance. After massaging the data coming from our Pingdom probes, it turns out that the sites overall performed well during December 2011 in terms of uptime, but response time was an issue for several sites.

@Tom: No, that’s not ok. But you’re free to use it and spread it around. Just don’t modify it.
