The Italian discount calculator estimates Italian final price after Italian chain discounts (multiple sequential) and Italian VAT, including quantity, total savings, effective discount percentage. Base formula: Final price = Original price * (1 - d1/100) * (1 - d2/100) * (1 - d3/100) * (1 + VAT/100) * Quantity.

Italian chain discounts: NOT additive sum. Example: 100 € price 30% + 20% = 100 * 0.7 * 0.8 = 56 € (NOT 50 € as 50% sum); effective discount: 1 - 0.56 = 44% (NOT 50%).

Italian VAT 2026: 22% standard (Italian D.P.R. 633/1972, most goods/services); 10% reduced (Italian tourism hotels, restaurants, non-essential food, Italian electricity/gas residential); 5% (Italian social services condos <8 units); 4% essential (Italian bread, milk, fruit, vegetables, books, newspapers, first home purchase).

Italian calculation formula

Italian calculation in 6 steps:

• Step 1 - Italian original price P0: List price before Italian discounts
• Step 2 - Italian discount 1 d1: Italian sales 30%, Black Friday 50%, loyalty 20%
• Step 3 - Italian chain discount 2 d2: P1 = P0 * (1 - d1/100), P2 = P1 * (1 - d2/100). NOT additive (30%+20% = 44% effective NOT 50%)
• Step 4 - Italian chain discount 3 d3: P3 = P2 * (1 - d3/100). 3 30% discounts = 1 - 0.7³ = 65.7% effective (NOT 90%)
• Step 5 - Italian VAT applied: 22% standard, 10% tourism/energy, 4% essential. VAT-included = P3 * (1 + VAT/100)
• Step 6 - Italian quantity: Total = VAT price * Q. Savings = (P0 - P3) * Q. Effective % = (P0 - P3) / P0 * 100

Italian example: 100 € product, Italian sales 30%, loyalty 20%, VAT 22%, qty 2. P1 = 70 €. P2 = 56 €. VAT-incl = 68.32 €. Total 2 = 136.64 €. Italian savings 88 € (44% effective vs 50% additive). Italian Omnibus D.Lgs. 26/2023: if Italian min price last 30 days 80 €, effective vs min = (80-56)/80 = 30% (NOT 44% to artificial 100 €).
