How It Works & Technical Architecture

The Discount Calculator computes primary savings as Price × (Discount% / 100).

For stacked discounts, it applies the secondary discount to the reduced intermediate price: Price × (1 - D1) × (1 - D2).

Sales tax is applied to the final discounted price in accordance with standard retail point-of-sale tax laws.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do stacked "double discounts" (e.g. 30% + extra 10% off) work?

Stacked discounts are applied sequentially: first 30% is taken off the original price, and then the extra 10% is taken off the remaining 70% balance (resulting in a 37% total effective discount, not 40%).

Is sales tax calculated before or after the discount?

In almost all jurisdictions, retail sales tax is calculated on the discounted final price, which lowers your total tax obligation.

Can I calculate "Buy One Get One" (BOGO) deals?

Yes. Buy One Get One 50% Off is equivalent to a 25% discount across both items.

Is my shopping data uploaded to any server?

No. All discount calculations execute locally in your browser memory.

Can I enter fixed dollar discounts (e.g. $20 off)?

Yes. You can switch between percentage discounts and fixed dollar off amounts.

How do stacked discounts work?

A 20% discount followed by an extra 10% coupon applies the second 10% discount to the already reduced price, resulting in a 28% total effective discount.
