FAQ
What if the discount is 100%?A 100% discount means the item is free — the sale price is $0.
Can I enter a discount over 100%?No — discounts over 100% don't make sense in retail. The calculator rejects them.
Does this include tax?This calculator works on the pre-tax price. Add tax separately if needed.
What's the difference between discount amount and sale price?Discount amount is what you save; sale price is what you actually pay.
Can I use this for bundle deals?Yes, enter the total original price and the effective discount percentage.
