Effective Price Per Item vs Item Price

How BOGO Deals Work

Buy-one-get-one promotions give a discount on the second item when you buy two. The discount on the second item can range from a small percentage to 100% (completely free).

Formula

Pair Cost = Full Price + Full Price x (1 - BOGO Discount / 100)

Effective Per Item = Pair Cost / 2

Example Calculation

A store offers BOGO 50% off on items priced $12.99. You buy 1 pair.

  1. 01First item: $12.99 at full price
  2. 02Second item: $12.99 x (1 - 0.50) = $6.50
  3. 03Pair cost = $12.99 + $6.50 = $19.49
  4. 04Effective per item = $19.49 / 2 = $9.74
  5. 05Savings = $12.99 x 0.50 = $6.50
