Pay Shipping
or Add More?

See whether paying for shipping costs less than adding items to reach free shipping.

Up to 2 decimal places. No currency conversion is performed.

What the result means

This compares total spending only. Also consider whether you actually need the extra items. No currency conversion is performed.

Example

With a cart of $38.00, $5.50 shipping, and a $50.00 threshold, paying for shipping totals $43.50. Reaching free shipping needs $12.00 more, so paying for shipping costs $6.50 less.

How it works

Pay shipping total = current cart total + shipping
Amount to reach free shipping = threshold − current cart total
If the cart already meets the threshold, the amount needed is zero.
Free shipping total = the greater of the current cart total and threshold

A common mistake

Free shipping does not always mean lower spending. If you add more merchandise than the shipping fee, your total cost rises.

Frequently asked questions

What if my cart already meets the threshold?

You do not need to add anything. The result says you have already reached the free shipping threshold.

Can I enter decimals?
