SC/PWD discount and VAT calculator
Type the prices on the receipt. The calculator removes the 12% VAT first, then takes the 20% (or 10%) discount off, line by line, the same way Kassly does at the counter.

How the discount is worked out
Under RA 9994 (seniors) and RA 10754 (PWD), the discount is taken off the price without VAT, and the sale is VAT-exempt. So a VAT-registered store does it in two steps:
- Remove the VAT. ₱112 ÷ 1.12 = ₱100.00
- Take 20% off. ₱100.00 × 20% = ₱20.00, so the senior pays ₱80.00.
The senior saves ₱32 against the ₱112 shelf price: ₱12 of VAT and ₱20 of discount. A common mistake is to take 20% off ₱112 (₱89.60), which charges the senior VAT they do not owe.
If a companion's order is on the same bill, untick Discounted on their items. They pay the regular price, VAT included.
Frequently asked questions
How is the Senior Citizen discount computed in the Philippines?
For a VAT-registered store, take the 12% VAT out of the price first (divide by 1.12), then take 20% off what is left. A ₱112 meal becomes ₱100 without VAT, and the senior pays ₱80. The sale is VAT-exempt.
Is the PWD discount the same as the senior discount?
Yes. PWD holders get the same 20% discount and VAT exemption as senior citizens, computed the same way.
What if my store is not VAT-registered?
There is no VAT to remove, so the discount is a plain 20% off the price. A ₱235 item becomes ₱188.
What about VAT-exempt items like rice or medicine?
An item that is already VAT-exempt has no VAT inside its price, so nothing is removed. The 20% comes straight off the price.
How much is the Solo Parent discount?
10% plus VAT exemption on qualifying items, under RA 11861. National athletes and coaches (NAAC) get 20% plus VAT exemption.
Why is the discount rounded per item?
The discount is rounded to the centavo on each line, as BIR rules expect. That is also how Kassly computes it at the counter, so this calculator matches a Kassly receipt.
Is this tax advice?
No. It shows how the discount is usually computed. Check your own case with your accountant or the BIR.
