AMPscript Math Functions

The math functions below allow us to add, subtract, divide, and multiply numbers in Marketing Cloud Emails, Landing Pages, SMS/MMS Messages, and Push Notifications. You can write complex math equations to calculate numbers on the fly using these functions.

Add(N1,N2)
Subtract(N1, N2)
Multiply(N1, N2)
Divide(N1, N2)
Mod(N1, N2)

Add Function

The Add() function in AMPscript is used to add two numeric constants or two variables with a numeric value set.

Example
%%=Add(N1,N2)=%%

	<!-- Example Code -->
	%%[
	/**
	* Add Logic
	* The Add() is used to add two numeric constants.
	*/
	VAR @number1, @number2, @results
	SET @number1 = 1
	SET @number2 = 2
	SET @results = Add(@number1,@number2)
	]%%
	<p>%%=v(@results)=%%</p>

	<!-- Example Output -->
