# Pricing preview

Pricing previews are calculated totals for prices.

---

[Paddle Checkout](https://developer.paddle.com/concepts/sell/self-serve-checkout.md) automatically shows the correct prices for a customer based on their location, including localized prices and taxes for their country or region.

You can use [the preview prices operation](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/pricing-preview/preview-prices.md) to calculate prices in the same way Paddle Checkout does to [show localized prices on a pricing page](https://developer.paddle.com/build/checkout/build-pricing-page.md) or other page in your app.

Paddle responds with a pricing preview object. This holds calculated totals for prices, including discounts, taxes, and currency conversion.

As well as returning totals in the lowest denomination for a currency, pricing previews contain formatted totals that include the currency symbol and decimal separator.
