I'm playing Adventure Capitalist on Android. I bought two x3 upgrades (so the game says "x6"), and I usually have the x2 multiplier from watching an ad. When I put these into the calculator with a 2 under "Gold multipliers" and a 2 in "x multiplier" under "other bonuses", the calculator gives numbers that are too high; I can get the correct numbers by returning "Gold multipliers" to 0 and setting "x multiplier" to 8.
So I think what the game is doing is considering each 3x multiplier to be +300%, and (inconsistently) considering the 2x multiplier to be +100%; but instead of multiplying them like your calculator does: (1 + 2 * 300%) * (1 + 100%) = 14
the game actually adds them:
(1 + 2 * 300% + 100%) = 8
