Cash Calculator

Box Office Cash Calculator

The Box Office Cash Calculator provides a quick way to determine what you owe a customer paying in cash. It automatically calculates the correct change and rounds totals to the nearest $0.05, ensuring accurate and efficient transactions.

Using and Understanding the Cash Calculator

When a customer chooses to pay in cash and you select “cash” as the payment method, you’ll be prompted with the total amount due. You’ll also see a set of preset cash denominations to choose from. Alternatively, you can click on ‘custom’ to enter a specific amount.

Important Considerations:

  • The change amount will always be rounded to the nearest $0.05.
  • Showpass records the total cash received, but does not track the breakdown of incoming cash and change given.
    • For example, if the basket total is $57.20 (as shown above), the system will record $57.20 as received in cash. It will not log the exchange of $80 received and $22.80 returned as change, either on your receipt or in your reporting.
    • Here’s the transaction from the example above:
