How It Works
This calculator multiplies the original price by the discount percentage to find your savings, then subtracts that from the original price for the final amount you'd pay — before any sales tax.
The discount amount is calculated from the original price and discount percentage, then subtracted from the original price to produce the sale price. If a second discount is applied separately, it is calculated from the already-reduced price rather than the original price.
Formula
- Price — Original price before the discount
- Discount % — The percentage taken off
Example
Example inputs: Original price $120, 25% discount.
Result: You save: $30.00. Final price: $90.00.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include sales tax?
No — this shows the discounted price only. Use the Sales Tax Calculator afterward if you want to add tax to the final price.
How do I stack two discounts, like 20% off plus an extra 10% off?
Apply them one at a time rather than adding the percentages together: run this calculator with the first discount, then use that result as the starting price for the second discount. Two 10% discounts stacked equal about 19% off total, not 20%.
How do successive discounts work?
Two discounts are normally applied one after another, so a 20% discount followed by 10% is not the same as a single 30% discount. The second percentage applies to the reduced price.
