FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Financial arithmetic on invoice terms and amounts. Not accounting advice.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the discount-return packet: your vendor invoice | invoice total dollars | discount offered dollars stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.

What this is built on
- Method: Focus early payout cash on invoices exceeding your target return.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Before: Maintain sufficient working capital reserves before accelerating vendor payments. After: the discount-return packet shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this discount-return packet, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a discount-return packet. Return plain rows only: vendor invoice | invoice total dollars | discount offered dollars. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: vendor invoice | invoice total dollars | discount offered dollars. No AI response is executed as code.
