How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the original price.
  2. Enter the percent-off offer and the dollar-off offer.
  3. See which one saves more, both final prices, and the break-even price.

Example: 20% off vs. $15 off

The better offer depends on the item price. At $75, 20% off saves $15, so both offers are equal.

Scroll the table horizontally if needed.

How to find the break-even price

Divide the dollar-off amount by the percentage as a decimal.

Break-even priceDollar-off amount ÷ (percentage ÷ 100)

For 20% off and $15 off, $15 ÷ 0.20 = $75. Below $75, $15 off saves more. Above $75, 20% off saves more.

Check the offer details

This calculator compares straightforward discounts applied to the item price. A coupon may have a savings cap, minimum purchase, eligible-item restriction, pre-tax or post-tax rule, shipping cost, or limits on stacking with other offers. Check the terms before you buy.

Frequently asked questions

What if the dollar-off amount is more than the price?

Savings are capped at the original price, so this calculator never shows a negative final price.

Can I use decimals?

Yes. Prices, percentages, and dollar-off amounts can include decimals. Dollar amounts display to two decimal places.

What about an extra percentage off after another discount?

That is a different calculation because the second discount applies after the first one. Use the offer terms and compare the final checkout price.
