## Description

Imagine you're running a massive holiday sale. A customer wants to buy five items, but they're trying to stack a 20% off sitewide coupon, a $10 off first-purchase code, and a buy-one-get-one deal on three of those items. On top of that, you need to know if the state tax applies to the original price or the discounted amount. Doing this in your head or even in a basic spreadsheet is a recipe for errors that eat into your margins. This MCP takes that headache off your plate. It acts as a specialized pricing engine that your AI agent can call to get the exact final total every time. Instead of guessing how discounts compound, you just tell your agent the rules, and it handles the math. Whether you're figuring out if a spend 100 get 20 off deal actually works after a percentage discount is applied, or if a specific regional tax rule needs to be triggered, this tool gives you the right number. It's a core part of the Vinkius catalog designed for high-accuracy retail math where rounding errors or incorrect tax logic can cost real money.

The jacket's price after the 20% discount is $160.00. After applying the $10 coupon, the final subtotal is $150.00.

## Use Cases

### Holiday Sale Verification
A customer wants to stack a 15% off coupon with a $20 off first-order code. The agent uses percentage_stacking and fixed_reduction to show the final price.

### Bulk Order Pricing
A B2B buyer wants 10 units of a product with a BOGO deal. The agent uses bogo_logic to find the cost.

### Regional Tax Compliance
A store in a state with specific pre-tax rules needs a final total. The agent uses regional_taxation to get the right amount.

### Rewards Eligibility
A user is $5 away from a spend 100 get 10 off deal. The agent uses threshold_incentive to check the current status.
