How we work out a discount
Every percentage on LASTLOOK is calculated from the listing's own prices. Here's the sum, and what “up to” means.
Every discount on LASTLOOK is worked out from two prices in the product's listing: the price it sells for now, and the original price listed for it. We never type a percentage in by hand.
One product
A badge like “70% off” is that product's own markdown: its current price as a share of its original price, taken away from one and rounded to the nearest whole percent. As a worked example, something selling for $30 that was listed at $100 shows 70% off.
If a listing has no original price, or its original price isn't higher than the current one, that product shows no discount at all, rather than 0%.
“Up to”
On an edit or a brand page, “up to X% off” is the single deepest markdown among that page's products at the time. It's the best case, not the typical one: most products on the page are marked down by less, and some may not be marked down at all.
“From $X” works the same way. It's the lowest current price among the products on the page.
Prices move
Sellers change prices and sell out, and our copy of their listings is refreshed through the day, so a figure here can change between visits or differ from the seller's page by the time you get there. The price that counts is the one on the seller's page when you buy.
