Formula

Apply percentage coupon and dollar coupon in selected order

Apply percentage and fixed-dollar coupons in the order you select. The order matters because each coupon changes the price base for the next one. Select "Best savings" to automatically find the optimal order.

Worked Example

Price: $50, 20% coupon, $5 off coupon, Percentage first Step 1: 20% off $50 = $50 - $10 = $40 Step 2: $5 off $40 = $40 - $5 = $35 Step 3: Total savings = $50 - $35 = $15 (30% effective discount) Alternative (dollar first): $50 - $5 = $45, then 20% off = $45 - $9 = $36 (saves $14) Result: Percentage first saves $15 vs $14. Best order is percentage first.

Why Coupon Stacking Order Matters

When you use multiple coupons on the same purchase, the order they are applied changes the total discount. This happens because each coupon modifies the price base that the next coupon acts on. Understanding this can save you real money.
  • Applying the percentage coupon first usually saves more than applying the dollar coupon first
  • This is because the percentage discount reduces a larger base when applied first
  • Some stores do not allow coupon stacking. Check the store's coupon policy.
  • Manufacturer coupons and store coupons can often be combined
  • The "Best savings" option automatically calculates both orders and picks the one that saves more

Coupon stacking is one of the most effective ways to save money while shopping. This calculator takes the guesswork out by showing you exactly how much each order saves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the application order matter?

Each coupon changes the price that the next coupon acts on. 20% off $50 = $10 savings, then $5 off = $15 total. But $5 off $50 = $45, then 20% off = $9 savings, totaling $14. Order changes the result.

What if a coupon exceeds the remaining price?

The discount is capped at the remaining price. You cannot go below $0. If the item is $10 and you have a $15 coupon, you pay $0 (not -$5).

Can I use multiple percent coupons?

This calculator supports one percentage and one dollar coupon. For more complex stacking, apply coupons sequentially and use the result as the new original price.

What about minimum purchase requirements?

Some coupons require a minimum purchase amount. This calculator checks whether the original price meets the minimum before applying the coupon. If not, the coupon is not applied.
