Frequently Asked Questions
How do stacked discounts work?
Stacked discounts are applied sequentially, not added together. A 30% off + 10% off doesn't equal 40% off. The second discount applies to the already-reduced price: $100 × 0.70 × 0.90 = $63 (37% total discount).
Should I calculate discount before or after tax?
Discounts are typically applied to the pre-tax price. Sales tax is then calculated on the discounted amount. This calculator follows that order.
Is 50% off twice the same as 100% off?
No! Two 50% discounts stack to 75% off: $100 × 0.50 × 0.50 = $25. You can never reach 100% with percentage discounts.
