Common questions
Do successive discounts of 20% and 10% equal 30% off?
No. Reducing 100,000 by 20%, then reducing 80,000 by 10%, gives 72,000. Enter each result as the next base amount.
Why might the checkout amount differ slightly?
Results display up to six decimal places. A retailer may apply different rounding or a different order of discounts.
