## A worked example

Say three editors in India each need Studio.

- On sale: 3 x INR 25,980 = INR 77,940, excluding GST.
- At list price: 3 x INR 31,980 = INR 95,940, excluding GST.
- Buying before 20 Nov saves INR 95,940 - INR 77,940 = INR 18,000.

A single editor saves INR 31,980 - INR 25,980 = INR 6,000.
