CanSat parafoil (300-350g payload) design help

Hi!
Do anyone have any help or documentation how to calculate size, design, etc. For a CanSat parafoil which would hold 300-350g payload?

So far I've seen this is quite difficoult (for me at least) to calculate and make. Thanks in advance!

Here are some equations for parachute design: https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/VirtualAero/BottleRocket/airplane/rktvrecv.html

You could also perform a numerical analysis, like this one here:
