Frequently asked
What is 60% off $14.99?
$6.00. The discount is 60% of $14.99, which is $8.99, and that comes straight off the price: $14.99 − $8.99 = $6.00.
How much do I save at 60% off $14.99?
$8.99 on a $14.99 item, which is the 60% that comes off before the till total of $6.00. The share you still pay is 40%, and sales tax is charged on that smaller figure rather than on the original.
Is 60% off plus another 60% off the same as 120% off?
No. Stacked percentages multiply, so 60% then 60% is 84% off in total, not 120%. On $14.99 the first cut leaves $6.00, and a second 60% takes it to $2.40.
Does sales tax apply before or after the discount?
After, in every US state that taxes the sale. Tax is charged on what you actually pay, so at 8% you owe $6.48 on a $6.00 subtotal, not 8% of $14.99. There are exceptions for manufacturer coupons and mail-in rebates, but a shelf discount is applied first.
