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.

How It Works

  1. Enter your amounts, rates, and term in the form. Use the same units shown in the labels (dollars, years, percent).
  2. Click Calculate to run the Discount Calculator engine. Invalid or empty required fields show a clear error message.
  3. Review the summary cards for the key outputs. Expand schedules or tables when available for period-by-period detail.
  4. Copy, print, or share your scenario link. Reset the form anytime to start a fresh comparison.

Formula

Sale price = Original price x (1 - discount%). Amount saved = Original price - Sale price. For dollar discounts: Sale price = Original price - discount amount.

FAQ
