What the math says

The example leaves decent room for a test. Keep the listing honest about capacity and make the leak-proof claim only if the product can back it up.

These are fictional planning numbers. Replace them with your supplier quote, packed shipping cost, commission plan, ad budget, and refund reserve before spending real money.

Test notes

Run your version

If the product only works when every assumption is perfect, it is too early to scale. Run the calculator first, then put the product into a small test budget.
