Totals that show their working

The sale shows Total incl. taxes up front, and one tap opens the Subtotal, each tax by name and rate, and any coupon discount. The same sum is checked again on the server before the sale is saved.

In short

The POS shows Total incl. taxes, and expands to the Subtotal, one row per tax such as VAT (13%), and a Coupon discount when a coupon applies. Each tax can be inclusive or exclusive and is worked out line by line, rounded to two decimals.

The problem it solves

A total nobody can take apart is a total nobody trusts. When a customer asks why the bill is what it is, the cashier should not need a calculator to answer.

In detail

What clear totals does for you

Common queries

Questions people ask

  • Yes. Set the tax's mode to Inclusive and the tax is taken out of the price instead of added on top. The total row says incl. next to it.
  • Yes. Each tax on the item gets its own row in the breakdown.
  • No. Tax is worked out on each line before the coupon is taken off, and the total never goes below zero.
