About Discount Calculator
Our Discount Calculator helps you quickly calculate sale prices, discounts, and savings. Perfect for shoppers comparing deals, businesses setting sale prices, and anyone wanting to know the final price after a discount.
How to Calculate Discount
To calculate a discount:
- Take the original price
- Multiply by the discount percentage
- Divide by 100 to get the discount amount
- Subtract the discount amount from the original price
Formula: Final Price = Original Price - (Original Price × Discount% ÷ 100)
Common Use Cases
- Shopping: Calculate sale prices during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or seasonal sales
- Business: Set promotional pricing and clearance sales
- Budgeting: Compare deals and maximize savings
- Retail: Calculate markdown prices for inventory
- E-commerce: Display sale prices and savings
Examples
- 20% off $100: Save $20, pay $80
- 50% off $50: Save $25, pay $25
- 25% off $200: Save $50, pay $150
- 10% off $75: Save $7.50, pay $67.50
- 75% off $120: Save $90, pay $30
Popular Discount Percentages

- 30% off: Major sale event

Shopping Tips
- Compare discounts across different stores
- Check if the original price is inflated before sales
- Calculate price per unit for bulk discounts
- Consider additional costs like shipping
- Use coupons and discount codes for extra savings
- Sign up for newsletters for exclusive discounts
Business Pricing Strategies
- Psychological Pricing: 25% off sounds better than "save $25"
- Tiered Discounts: 10% off $50, 20% off $100
- Flash Sales: Limited-time high discounts
- Bundle Discounts: Buy more, save more
- Seasonal Sales: End-of-season clearance
Multiple Discounts
When applying multiple discounts, they are typically applied sequentially, not added together. For example:
- Original price: $100
- First discount (20% off): $100 - $20 = $80
- Second discount (10% off): $80 - $8 = $72
- Total savings: $28 (not $30)
Reverse Calculation
To find the original price when you know the final price:
Formula: Original Price = Final Price ÷ (1 - Discount% ÷ 100)
Example: If you paid $80 after a 20% discount, the original price was $80 ÷ 0.8 = $100
