Store Credit
Apply store credit to a purchase and find the cash still due.
About Store Credit
The usable credit is capped at the item's price, anything else is paid in cash, and coverage shows the fraction covered. Store credit usually cannot be cashed out, so knowing the exact cash due keeps a purchase on budget and fully planned.
Formula
Store Credit
Credit used = min(credit, price); cash due = price - credit used
- credit coverage
- Share of the item price covered by store credit
