A few useful answers.
How does the calculator work?
Contribution per item = price × (1 − selling fee percentage) − materials and packaging. Break-even units = fixed costs ÷ contribution, rounded up. Target units include your target surplus in fixed costs.
What if I sell several different products?
Use a representative average for planning. The Excel kit lets you enter product sales separately to calculate actual results after the event.
