How Discount Calculation Works
Discount calculation is a simple two-step process. First, multiply the original price by the discount percentage to find the discount amount. Then, subtract the discount from the original price to get the final price. Example: $100 item at 30% off: Discount = $100 × 30% = $30, Final Price = $100 - $30 = $70.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a discount?▾
To calculate a discount, multiply the original price by the discount percentage to get the discount amount, then subtract from the original price. Example: $100 at 20% off = $20 discount, final price $80.
What is the formula for final price?▾
Final Price = Original Price × (1 - Discount % / 100). Or: Final Price = Original Price - (Original Price × Discount % / 100). Both formulas give the same result.
How do I calculate multiple discounts?▾
Apply discounts sequentially. Example: $100 at 20% off = $80, then 10% off that = $72. Note: 20% + 10% ≠ 30% when applied sequentially.
How do I find the percentage saved?▾
Savings % = (Discount Amount ÷ Original Price) × 100. Example: Saved $20 on $100 item = 20% savings.
How to tell if a sale is a good deal?▾
Generally, 30%+ discounts are considered good deals. However, always verify the original price is fair and compare with other retailers. Large % discounts on inflated prices may not save much.
How do discounts work with tax?▾
Typically, discounts apply to the pre-tax price, then tax is added. Example: $100 item at 20% off = $80, plus 8% tax = $86.40 final. Some stores discount the tax-inclusive price.
