Start with the selected actual prices

One selected Apple offer at$49.00, Garmin offer at$49.99 and Barton offer at$28.99 total$127.98 in merchandise. The tool parses prices into integer cents before adding, multiplying or comparing credits. It rejects a fraction of a cent instead of silently rounding the input. A valid calculation is planning arithmetic, not proof that these different makers share a checkout or a promotion.

Allow exact equality

A user-entered confirmed merchandise credit of$127.98 against that base produces exactly$0.00 net merchandise. A$127.99 credit exceeds the base and is invalid. The calculator does not validate a return credit, gift balance, coupon or retailer eligibility. Those actual commercial conditions must be established at the relevant seller. The word credit describes the entered merchandise adjustment scope, not a promise that a seller offers one.

Keep delivery and tax separate

A full merchandise credit does not establish free shipping, zero tax or no other charge. The tool adds actual entered charges only when all fields are explicitly known. Blank or invalid charges keep the full total unresolved, while confirmed zeros are accepted. Tax law and shipping thresholds are not calculated. The selected products may require separate seller checkouts with different conditions.

Test practical decimal cases

Local QA includes ten cents times three and two user-entered$47.99 offers totaling$95.98 with an exact full credit. Those are explicit arithmetic test inputs, not fabricated product prices. Negative, blank, scientific-notation and fractional-cent prices are rejected, along with credits above a zero base. No monetary result approves a connector, promises installed fit or reserves stock.

Test the credit against the merchandise amount

Two user-entered offers at $47.99 produce $95.98, using integer cents rather than a floating-point subtotal comparison. A confirmed merchandise credit of exactly $95.98 leaves $0.00 merchandise, while $95.99 is rejected as exceeding that base. If actual shipping is $4.99, a full merchandise credit does not erase that separate charge. Blank shipping is unknown rather than free. This distinction matters when comparing a quoted replacement order: an arithmetic result cannot verify that a seller accepts the credit or determine the tax treatment.
