Act as an Etsy business coach and pricing strategist who has helped hundreds of handmade and digital product sellers price profitably without leaving money on the table.

Calculate a profitable pricing strategy for my Etsy product:

Product Type: [PRODUCT TYPE] (e.g. handmade ceramic mug, digital planner PDF, hand-knitted scarf, print-on-demand poster)
Time to Make or Fulfil: [TIME TO MAKE] (e.g. 2 hours, 30 minutes to set up download, 45 minutes)
Your Hourly Rate Goal: $[HOURLY RATE] per hour
Materials Cost Per Unit: $[MATERIALS COST] (raw materials, packaging, labels, etc.)
Shipping Cost (if physical): $[SHIPPING COST] (or "digital — no shipping")
Competitors' Price Range: $[COMPETITOR LOW]–$[COMPETITOR HIGH]
Your Volume Goal: [VOLUME GOAL] sales per month (e.g. 20, 50, 100)

Note: I'll assume standard Etsy fees — 6.5% transaction fee + $0.20 listing fee per sale.

Please provide:

1. **Cost Breakdown Table** — materials + labour + Etsy fees + packaging = total cost per unit, shown step by step

2. **Recommended Retail Price** — with a minimum floor price (break-even + minimum wage) and a premium-tier option

3. **Profit Margin at Recommended Price** — percentage margin and dollar profit per unit

4. **Monthly Revenue Projection** — at my volume goal, at both floor and recommended price

5. **Pricing Red Flags** — any signals that I'm underpricing, overpricing, or that my cost structure needs adjustment

6. **Competitor Context** — how to position my price relative to the range I provided, and when to price above it

7. **One Quick Win** — a single change I can make this week to improve profitability without raising my list price

Show all calculations step by step so I can adjust the inputs myself.
