How we estimate this

Start-up cost = idea price (€79) + one month of running costs while you build (€65). Monthly profit = low end of the revenue estimate (€2000) minus average running costs. We assume 2 months of ramp-up at half revenue and add your setup time. Your own working hours are not counted. It is an estimate, not a promise.
