Example expression:

On the sum that results from the surcharge or reduction of a single-level LV surcharge / discount, a percentage LV surcharge / discount can be calculated, e.g. for calculating construction insurance.

First enter the first LV surcharge / discount, which will be calculated on the total of all items. Then create a second surcharge / discount, enter the agreed percentage and press the button F5.


The percentage value is "converted" into the percentage value that results from a surcharge / discount on the sum of all items. This is also used to print out the invoice. If you add the agreed percentage value in the description of the LV surcharge / discount, the invoice recipient can see how the amount is calculated.


Calculation example:
LV total minus 7,25% discount = € 10.000,00 - € 725,00 = € 9.275,00
3% construction insurance = € 9.275,00 * 3,00% = € 278,25
