Not every discount reduces to a single percentage. Two coupons applied one after another don't add up the way they look like they should, a Buy-2-Get-1-Free offer hides an effective rate that no one works out at a glance, and a bundle price only saves money if you check it against buying the items separately. This tool covers all three.

Why stacked discounts don't add up

A 20% discount followed by a 10% discount does not make a 30% discount. The second percentage applies to the already-reduced price, never the original. On a ₹1,999 item that works out to a 28% effective discount. The gap widens with larger or more numerous stacked discounts.

The real discount rate behind a BOGO-style offer

"Buy 2, get 1 free" pays for 2 items but hands over 3. That works out to a 33.3% effective discount on the total, not the 50% most people assume. This calculator converts any buy/free quantity combination into the effective discount rate and the effective per-item price.

Checking whether a bundle saves money

A bundle price only makes sense next to what the same items would cost bought individually. Retailers sometimes price bundles at little or no real saving. This comparison catches that before you commit to offering one or buying one.
