Nice little program.

After one year you get about a 20% loss in concentration by natural decomposition. So you need a fudge factor.

Concentration loss increases with dilution and with higher temperatures. The "ready to use" product probably has the worse shelf life.

PureBright Bleach   768 oz @ $19.05 = $0.02 per oz: Sodium Hypochlorite = 6.000%      
Clorox Bleach        64 oz @ $10.40 = $0.16 per oz: Sodium Hypochlorite = 8.250%      
Cleaner Bleach       32 oz @ $1.80 = $0.06 per oz: Sodium Hypochlorite = 2.000%      
Anasept              15 oz @ $21.00 = $1.40 per oz: Sodium Hypochlorite = 0.057%      
 
PureBright Potency has degraded from 6.00% to 5.93% since {2018,9,1,0,0,0}. 
 
10.79 oz ($0.27) of PureBright Bleach makes 32 oz of a solution = Cleaner Bleach($1.80) 
 
PureBright has 71% of the Sodium Hypochlorite content of Clorox. 
Therefore; 39% more PureBright is required to match the Sodium 
Hypochlorite Content of Clorox, hence the relative cost of PureBright  
compared to Clorox = $0.035/oz. Even so, ***Clorox cost = 4.71 times** 
the adjusted cost/oz of PureBright. 
 
PureBright has 104 times the Sodium Hypochlorite content of Anasept. 
0.14 fluid oz (1.0 tsp) of PureBright costs only $0.004, 
yet makes a 15 fluid oz solution with Sodium Hypochlorite 
content comparable to that of Anasept Antimicrobial 
Skin & Wound Cleaner which costs ~$21.00. 
 
One Gallon of PureBright can make the equivalent of  
888 15 oz bottles of Anasept, which would cost $18,643.08
