Discount Calculations
Solve any two of original price, discount percent or dollar amount, final sale price, and total amount saved. Toggle between percent off and fixed dollar markdown to match store promotions.
Percent Off vs Dollar Off
A 15% discount on a $200 item saves $30. A flat $30 off the same item equals 15% only at that price point. Compare both formats when evaluating competing offers.
Stacked Discounts
Two successive 20% discounts do not equal 40% off. The second discount applies to the already-reduced price. Run each step separately for stacked promotions such as member plus seasonal sales.
Retail and Shopping Tips
Compare unit prices on shelf tags. A larger package with a smaller percent discount may still cost more per ounce. A sale is only valuable if you needed the item at the final price.
Business Pricing
Retailers use margin and markup calculations alongside discounts. See the Margin Calculator to ensure promotions still cover cost.
