How the calculator works: an example

Example: you're buying a year of New Scientist in print for £165.00, and you have a 10% off code. If a 40% sale is on and the code also works on sale items, the sale takes off £66.00 and the code a further £9.90, so the basket drops to £89.10: a saving of £75.90. Press “Fill in the example” to see it worked out, or put in your own basket, sale and code. Whether a code works on sale items depends on its terms.
