    The single loss expectancy (SLE) then, is 25% * $100,000, or $25,000. The annualized loss expectancy is the product of the annual rate of occurrence (ARO) and the single loss expectancy. ALE = ARO * SLE For an annual rate of occurrence of 1, the annualized loss expectancy is 1 * $25,000, or $25,000. For an ARO of 3, the equation is: ALE = 3 ...
