About the Discount Calculator
The calculator uses a multi formula configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.
Formula basis:
Final Price = Original Price x (1 - Discount% / 100)
Savings = Original Price x Discount% / 100
Discount% = (Original Price - Sale Price) / Original Price x 100
Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.
Formula & How It Works
The calculation applies the following relations exactly as recorded in the metadata: Final Price = Original Price x (1 - Discount% / 100) Savings = Original Price x Discount% / 100 Discount% = (Original Price - Sale Price) / Original Price x 100 Each output field is produced by substituting the supplied inputs into the relevant relation and then applying the declared rounding or text format.
