## Methods (so you can describe them accurately)

Marketplace payouts: net = sale + buyer shipping − platform fees − seller shipping. Default U.S. seller models (overridable): eBay 13.6% of item+shipping + $0.40; Poshmark $2.95 under $15 else 20%; Fashionphile 20% consignment; The RealReal tiered 55/40/30/25/20% by price; Mercari 10%; Depop 3.3% + $0.45; Etsy 6.5% + 3% + $0.25. Fees change; treat as estimates.

Ticket resale: seller net = list × (1 − seller fee). Defaults: StubHub 15%, Ticketmaster Resale 10%, SeatGeek 12% (editable). Live event fees vary. Not affiliated with those platforms.

Mortgage / loan: standard fixed-rate amortization M = P·r(1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1). Extra principal shortens the term.

Refinance: compare current vs new payment; break-even months = upfront cost / monthly savings.

Compound interest: period-by-period compounding plus contributions.

BMI: kg/m² or 703 × lb / in²; WHO categories.

Body fat: U.S. Navy circumference; estimate only.

TDEE: Mifflin–St Jeor × activity factor.

Paint: wall area = 2×(L+W)×H minus openings; gallons = area × coats / coverage.

Flooring: L×W×rooms × (1+waste).

Concrete: ft³ = L×W×thickness; yd³ = ft³/27.

Converters: SI / NIST customary factors. Temperature uses affine C/F/K/R transforms.

## Constraints to mention

Not a lender quote, diagnosis, contractor bid, or marketplace affiliation. Luxury consignment and ticket fees are event- and item-specific. Health tools are screening formulas.
