Effective Price Per Item vs Item Price
Formula
## 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**
Esempio Risolto
A store offers BOGO 50% off on items priced $12.99. You buy 1 pair.
- 01First item: $12.99 at full price
- 02Second item: $12.99 x (1 - 0.50) = $6.50
- 03Pair cost = $12.99 + $6.50 = $19.49
- 04Effective per item = $19.49 / 2 = $9.74
- 05Savings = $12.99 x 0.50 = $6.50
Domande Frequenti
Is BOGO 50% the same as 25% off everything?
Yes, mathematically BOGO 50% off is equivalent to 25% off each item. The per-item effective discount is always half the BOGO percentage.
What does BOGO free mean?
BOGO free (or BOGO 100%) means you pay full price for one item and get the second at no charge. Your effective per-item cost is exactly half the retail price.
Do I have to buy exactly two items?
BOGO deals apply in pairs. If you buy an odd number, the last item is typically at full price. This calculator works in complete pairs.
