Price and discounts

Quick discount

Stacked discount: the additional discount applies to the already reduced price, so two discounts are not simply added together.

Know before you start

Important limitations

  • Stacked discounts are applied sequentially and are not added together.
  • The tax estimate assumes one rate applied to the discounted subtotal and does not model exemptions, tax holidays, fees, shipping, or jurisdiction-specific rules.
  • Currency formatting does not perform exchange-rate conversion; changing currency changes only the displayed unit.
  • Store-specific rounding at the item, coupon, or tax level can differ from the final formatted estimate.
  • Results are shopping estimates, not tax, accounting, or financial advice.

Common questions

Discount Calculator FAQ

How do two discounts combine?

Apply each discount sequentially. For example, 25% off followed by 10% off leaves 75% × 90% = 67.5% of the original price, which is a 32.5% effective discount—not 35%.

Is sales tax calculated before or after the discount?

This calculator applies the entered tax rate to the discounted subtotal. Actual taxable amounts, exemptions, fees, and rules depend on the seller and jurisdiction.

Why might a store total differ by a few cents?

A store may round each item, coupon, tax component, or order at a different stage. This tool calculates with full floating-point values and formats the displayed currency at the end.

Are purchase details uploaded?

No. Prices, rates, quantities, calculations, and clipboard output remain in the current browser.
