Method and assumptions

Shipping charged at cost, with the same VAT and withholding as goods. No country-specific tax rules.

Profit excludes VAT and withholding. Unit cost excludes VAT; withholding applies to the base including shipping.

Worked example and interpretation

An item priced at 100 with successive discounts of 20% and 10% costs 100 × 0.8 × 0.9 = 72 before shipping and tax. The saving is 28%, not 30%. Enter each discount separately to preserve the sequence.

What to check

Compare final totals: 72 plus 12 shipping costs 84, more than 80 with free shipping. Check whether the starting price already includes tax.
