Tax and discounts
Enter item prices, shipping and discounts on this basis. Only the threshold can use a different basis.
Stores differ. The default rounds down so the threshold check and discounts are not overestimated.
Result
45.00 / 50.00 (90%)
Adding items vs. ordering as is
- Order as is — You pay 51.00 (includes shipping 6.00)
- Add 5.00 and order — You pay 50.00 (free shipping)
Adding items lowers what you pay by 1.00, and you also get 5.00 worth of extra items.
items 45.00 − discount 0.00 − threshold benefit 0.00 + shipping 6.00 = 51.00
How to use
- Enter the threshold (e.g. free shipping on orders of 50 or more) and what you get when you reach it.
- Enter the price and quantity of each item in your cart, plus the tax basis and any coupon discount.
- See how much more you need to add, and compare what you pay if you order as is or add items.
FAQ
Is it better to pay shipping or add items?
If the amount you are short is less than the shipping fee, adding items lowers what you pay and gives you more items. If it is more, you pay more, so only add things you need. The tool shows both totals.
What if the threshold is pre-tax but prices include tax?
Set the threshold basis to before tax and the prices to tax included, then enter the tax rate. The tool converts before checking. It has no built-in tax rates, so enter a rate you have confirmed.
Can a coupon make me miss free shipping?
Yes. Stores that check the amount after discounts may count your order as below the threshold once a coupon is applied. Use "Check the threshold after this discount" to switch.
