How to Use This Discount Calculator

A discount takes a percentage off a price: multiply the original price by the discount percent to get the amount saved, then subtract it to get the sale price. That is all there is to it — but it is worth checking, because shops sometimes show the discount on an inflated original price. Enter any original price and discount percent to see the discount amount, the final price and the percent you save.

Formula Used

Discount amount = original price × discount percent ÷ 100. Final price = original price − discount amount.

Worked Example

Example: Original price $100 · Discount 25%

  1. Discount amount = $100 × 25% = $25.00.
  2. Final price = $100 − $25 = $75.00.
  3. You save 25.00% on the original price.

Final Price: $75.00

Frequently Asked Questions

How do shops calculate a discount?

They take the discount percent off the original price: discount amount equals price times percent, and the sale price is what is left. This calculator does exactly that.

What if there are two discounts, like 20% then 10%?

They are applied one after the other, not added. 20% off then 10% off the reduced price leaves 72% of the original — a total discount of 28%, not 30%.

How do I find the original price from a sale price?

Divide the sale price by one minus the discount as a decimal. A $75 sale price after 25% off means the original was $75 ÷ 0.75 = $100.
