Discount Calculator

Sale price and savings from original price and discount %.

How it works

Sale price = original × (1 − discount ÷ 100)

A discount is a percentage off the original price. Savings = original × discount ÷ 100.

FAQ

What does "X% off" mean?

"30% off" means paying 70% of the original price, i.e. a 30% discount.

Worked example

List price 300 at 20% off: 300 × 0.8 = 240, saving 60.

Stack another 10% off: 300 × 0.8 × 0.9 = 216 — a 28% total discount, not 30%.

Notes and limitations

Discounts multiply; they do not add. Watch for "raise the price, then discount" — compare against the historical price rather than trusting the label.
