Second Item Discount Calculator

Find the real discount across both items when the second or lower-priced item is reduced.

What the result means

Find the real discount across both items when the second or lower-priced item is reduced.

Example

If two $10 items qualify for 50% off the second item, the regular total is $20 and you pay $15. That is 25% off overall.

How it works

Savings = discounted item price × discount rate
Effective discount = savings ÷ regular two-item total × 100

A common mistake

“Second item 50% off” does not mean 50% off the full basket. For two equal-priced items, it works out to 25% off overall.

Frequently asked questions

Can the two items have different prices?

Yes. Open the detailed mode and choose whether product B or the lower-priced item receives the discount.

What if the store discounts the cheaper item?

Choose “lower-priced item” and confirm the retailer’s eligibility rules before buying.
