The estimated total adds one-time fixed costs (setup fee, testing panel, label design) to your quoted manufacturing price and packaging (bottle, cap, label and box), leaving out any line you mark as already in your quote or not needed. Fixed costs are the same regardless of order size, so they shrink as a share of the total at higher volumes.
