Type the desired percentage rate (e.g., 10, 20, or 50) into the "Enter Percentage" box, or click any quick preset chip.
Choose "Deduct %" for promotional discounts, coupons, and retail sales. Select "Add %" for price markups, profit margins, or service fees.
If applicable, set sales tax, VAT, or local levies in the Tax (%) fields. Click "Add Tax" to add multiple tax tiers or "Delete" to remove them.
Click the green "Calculate" button to generate a clean breakdown specifying your final payable price, discounted subtotal, total tax liability, and exact currency amount saved.
