Formula Used

The accounting calculator receipt uses the following formulas:

Subtotal = Sum of (Quantity × Unit Price) for all items

Discount Amount = Subtotal × (Discount Percentage / 100)

Discounted Subtotal = Subtotal - Discount Amount

Tax Amount = Discounted Subtotal × (Tax Rate / 100)

Total = Discounted Subtotal + Tax Amount

These calculations ensure your receipt is accurate and professional.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works:

Suppose you have two items:

  • Item 1: 2 × $10.00 each
  • Item 2: 1 × $15.00

With a 10% discount and 8% tax:

  1. Subtotal = (2 × $10.00) + (1 × $15.00) = $20.00 + $15.00 = $35.00
  2. Discount Amount = $35.00 × 0.10 = $3.50
  3. Discounted Subtotal = $35.00 - $3.50 = $31.50
  4. Tax Amount = $31.50 × 0.08 = $2.52
  5. Total = $31.50 + $2.52 = $34.02

The calculator will display these values in the result section and provide a visual breakdown in the chart.
