Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate a "20% off" discount manually? Multiply the new price by 0.20 to find the savings, then subtract that from the new price. Or, multiply the new price by 0.80.

What is a "stacked" discount? It's when you apply one discount, and then apply another discount to the new price. For example, 10% off a price that was already 20% off.

Does this tool handle sales tax? Yes! You can input your local sales tax rate to see the final price including tax.
