Reading a discount correctly
A percentage discount always applies to the original price, not to any price that's already been reduced — which matters when a sale is stacked ("25% off, plus an extra 10%"). Two sequential discounts don't add together; 25% off followed by 10% off the new price works out to about 32.5% off the original, not 35%. When in doubt, calculate each step separately rather than adding the percentages.
Smarter shopping around a sale
Compare unit price, not sticker price
A "50% off" bulk pack can still cost more per unit than a smaller full-price item. Check the price per ounce, per item, or per use before assuming a discount is the better deal.
Watch for inflated "original" prices
Some retailers briefly raise a price before discounting it, so the sale looks bigger than it is. If a deal seems unusually large, a quick price-history check is worth the minute it takes.
Stack the calculator with a coupon
If you also have a coupon code, run the discount calculator first to get the sale price, then apply the coupon percentage to that new number — not the original price.
Factor in shipping and returns
A steep discount can be erased by shipping costs or a restrictive return policy. Add those into your real "final price" before deciding a deal is worth it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a discounted price?
Multiply the original price by the discount percentage divided by 100 to find how much you save, then subtract that from the original price. For example, 25% off $80 saves $20, for a final price of $60.
How do I work out what percentage off a sale price is?
Subtract the sale price from the original price, divide by the original price, and multiply by 100. This calculator focuses on finding the final price from a known discount — for the reverse calculation, the percentage calculator's "% change" mode will get you there.
Does this include tax?
No — this calculates the discount only. Add your local sales tax to the final price separately if needed.
