Frequently Asked Questions
Is the discount applied before or after tax?
The discount comes first. The price is reduced by the discount, then sales tax is added to the discounted price, which is how stores normally ring it up.
How is sales tax calculated?
The tax is the price after discount multiplied by the tax rate. For example, 8 percent tax on an 80 dollar price after discount is 6.40 dollars.
Can I use it for VAT or GST?
Yes. Enter your VAT or GST percentage in the sales tax field. The math is the same for any percentage-based tax added to a price.
How much am I saving with the discount?
Your saving is the discount amount, shown next to the final total. It is the difference between the original price and the price after discount.
