Spanish term or phrase: más un margen por pérdidas
Tengo dudas con esta frase. El contexto es el cálculo del tamaño de una muestra para una encuesta:
De esta manera, el tamaño calculado fue de 460 individuos **más un margen por pérdidas** del 15%

Lo traduje como **loss margin**, pero no me convence:
Thus, we estimated a sample size of 460 individuals plus a loss margin of 15%.

TIA!!
