Terms & calculator notes.

The tools are free to use. A few details matter when turning an estimate into a real shopping decision.

What the tools show

SpendChoice compares the numbers you enter under the assumptions stated beside each calculator. The result is an estimate, not a quote from a merchant or a guarantee of what you will pay. Review the store’s checkout before you buy.

Important assumptions

  • Free shipping: The threshold uses the pre-tax item subtotal. The example calculation taxes items, not shipping; merchants and locations may apply different rules.
  • Unit price: Both package sizes must use the same unit. A lower price per unit may still mean a higher upfront cost or more product than you can use.
  • Offer compare: Each offer uses one discount. Discounts are rounded to cents before tax; the calculator taxes the discounted item price, not shipping. Stacking rules, exclusions, and tax treatment vary by seller.

Your decision

Enter accurate figures and check the merchant’s current prices, discounts, shipping terms, and taxes. Product quality, returns, delivery time, and whether you need an extra item can matter more than the lowest displayed total. SpendChoice does not sell the products being compared or provide personal financial advice.
