How the calculation works
Difference = second price − first price; percentage difference = difference ÷ first price × 100. A positive result means the second price is higher; a negative result means it is lower. The first price is the percentage reference. When it is zero, the amount is shown and the percentage is unavailable. A large pack can have a lower unit price but still cost more overall or create waste. This model does not measure shelf life or product quality. Choose one currency for every monetary input. The selector labels and formats amounts; it does not apply an exchange rate. Money displays use the selected currency’s standard minor units, including whole yen for JPY. Exact decimal arithmetic precedes rounding; halfway minor units round away from zero. Numeric input/result magnitudes are bounded by 9,007,199,254,740,991.
Example
Bulk Pack example: Currency = GBP; First Price = 18; Second Price = 15. Result: -£3.00 (-16.67%).
Practical tip
Compare the same product and net quantity, including delivery and any membership charge.
