Privoxy's interal filteres aren't powerful enought to do proper
calculations, but you could create a filter that replaces certain
prices with other prices that were calculated by yourself or a
script that is generating the filters.

If support for external filters is compiled in, they could be used
to do proper calculations on-the-fly:
http://config.privoxy.org/user-manual/actions-file.html#EXTERNAL-FILTER

It would be a bit more work and depending on how many different prices
have to be changed in may not be worth it, though.
