How does Box Tops determine the donation amount your school will receive?
- Only purchases made through the Box Tops for Education Marketplace will earn a donation for your school. See Official Rules for details.
- School donations are usually calculated from net sales.
- Donations will be subtracted for merchandise returns.
- Sales tax, shipping costs, gift certificates, packaging or handling fees, gift-wrapping services, governmental fees, credit card processing fees and certain other charges may not be included in the calculation of the school donation amount.
Here's an example of how a donation would be calculated for a purchase at "Store X" assuming 5% of your purchase is donated to your designated school:
|
| Merchandise total: |
$90.00 |
| Tax: |
$5.00 |
| Shipping/handling: |
$5.00 |
 |
|
|
| Total: |
$100.00 |
|
| In the above example, the 5% donation is calculated from the $90.00 merchandise total because tax, shipping and handling are excluded. Therefore, your school would receive $4.50 from your purchase - at no additional cost to you. Some stores have additional restrictions on certain types of merchandise or other special restrictions. Below you will find explanations of these additional restrictions. |
