The operation can be performed also the other way around - enter product price and the helper will show you the modified price. This works for all price entries.

Longer Description

Initially it was designed for the store owners who new what their product price has to be after taxes applied. The issue for them was to manually calculate the price without tax every time (that is how Opencart works by default). If this is your situation, then this module is definately for you. You will not waste your time anymore for calculating the right price on the calculator.

This modification adds a helper field next to the price field at all locations where the price input is available. You just enter the price which you want your customers see and the price field will be automatically updated according to the price modifyer (or multiplyer).
