How do I calculate the sale price after a percentage discount?

To find a sale price, multiply the original price by the discount percentage to get the amount you save, then subtract that from the original. For a $80 item at 25% off, the saving is 80 x 0.25 = $20, so the sale price is 80 - 20 = $60. A quicker shortcut is to multiply the original by (100 minus the discount) divided by 100 — here 80 x 0.75 = $60 — which gives the final price in one step. If you also pay sales tax, apply the tax to the discounted price, not the original, or you will overpay. This calculator's Discount mode does all of this as you type: enter the original price and the percentage off, and it shows the sale price, the amount saved, and an optional tax-inclusive total instantly.

Is a 20% discount plus a 10% coupon the same as 30% off?

No, and this is the most common discount mistake. Stacked discounts compound rather than add, because each cut applies to an already-reduced price, not the original. A 20% discount on $100 leaves $80; taking a further 10% off that $80 removes only $8, leaving $72. So you pay 72% of the original — an effective 28% off, not 30%. The order does not change the result, but the gap between perceived and real savings grows as discounts get larger. To check any layered deal yourself, use the Stacked mode in this calculator: add each discount as a separate step and it lists the running price after every markdown, then shows the true effective percentage so you can compare it against a single advertised number.

How do I find the original price from a sale price and discount?

When you only know the sale price and the percent off, divide the sale price by (100 minus the discount) over 100. For an item marked $60 after 25% off, divide 60 by 0.75 to get an original price of $80. The trap to avoid is simply adding the discount back — taking 25% of $60 and adding it gives $75, which is wrong, because the discount was originally taken from the larger number. Working backwards this way is useful for spotting inflated "was" prices, checking that an advertised list price is genuine, or rebuilding a receipt. This calculator's Original Price mode does the division for you: enter the sale price and the discount percentage, and it returns the true starting price along with the amount that was taken off.

What percentage off is a buy-one-get-one-free deal?

A straight buy-one-get-one-free (BOGO) offer is 50% off when measured across the two items, not 100% off, because you still pay full price for one of them. Buy one $40 shirt and get a second free, and you spend $40 for two shirts — an effective price of $20 each, which is 50% off per unit. The discount only reaches the headline figure if you actually want both items; buying two when you needed one is not a saving. Variations like buy-two-get-one-free work out to roughly 33% off across the three units. This calculator's BOGO mode handles these offers directly: enter the item price and the buy and get quantities, and it shows the effective per-unit price and the real percentage saved so you can compare it honestly against a plain markdown.

How do I compare two discounts in different currencies or with sales tax?

Comparing offers fairly means reducing each to the single number that matters — what you actually pay at the end. A larger headline percentage can lose to a smaller one once a coupon stacks differently, a bundle changes the per-unit cost, or tax lands on top. Always apply discounts first and tax last, since tax is charged on the reduced price. For currency, pick one and convert before comparing rather than eyeballing different symbols. This calculator supports twelve currencies, including the US dollar, euro, pound, yen, and rupee, with correct decimal handling — yen and won show whole units. Use the Best Deal mode to rank competing offers by final cost, and the Tax mode to add or back out GST, VAT, or sales tax, so two unevenly structured deals become directly comparable.

About the Discount Calculator

The Discount Calculator works out exactly what you pay after a markdown, how much you save, and what the original price was — without the mental math at the register. It is built for shoppers comparing sale tags, freelancers and small sellers pricing their work, and anyone who has squinted at "extra 30% off the lowest marked price" and wondered what the real total comes to. Enter the numbers you know, and the answer updates as you type.

Where most online calculators handle only a single "X% off" sum, this one is organised into nine modes you switch between with a tab, so you can match the calculator to the actual deal in front of you rather than forcing every situation into one formula.

The nine calculation modes

  • Discount — the everyday case: take a percentage or a flat dollar amount off an original price and see the sale price, the amount saved, and an optional tax-inclusive total.
  • Original Price — reverse-engineer the list price when you only know the sale price and the discount percentage (handy for spotting inflated "was" prices).
  • Find % — enter the original and final price and the tool tells you the exact percentage discount applied.
  • Stacked — apply multiple discounts in sequence, such as a 20% sale plus a 10% coupon, and see why that is not the same as 30% off.
  • Cart — total several items with their own discounts and quantities in one go.
  • BOGO — model buy-X-get-Y-free offers and see the effective per-unit price.
  • Best Deal — compare competing offers side by side and rank them by what you actually pay.
  • Bundle — group items into a bundle price and break down the cost per unit.
  • Tax — layer sales tax, GST, or VAT on top of, or back out of, a discounted price.

How to read the results

Each mode shows a clear breakdown: the original price, the discount taken off, the final price, and your total savings as both an amount and a percentage. Supporting modes display the step-by-step math — stacked discounts, for example, list each markdown and the running price after it, which makes the "discounts don't add up" trap obvious. A 20% discount followed by a 10% coupon leaves you paying 72% of the original, an effective 28% off, not 30%, because the second cut applies to an already-reduced price.

Results format in your chosen currency. Twelve are supported, including the US dollar, euro, British pound, Canadian and Australian dollars, Japanese yen, Indian rupee, Chinese yuan, and South Korean won, with the right symbol and decimal handling (yen and won show whole units). For tax, preset rates cover common values from 5% to 20%, with labelled GST 5% and VAT 20% shortcuts.

Why the math matters

Retail discounts are designed to feel bigger than they are. Stacked offers compound rather than sum, "buy one get one free" is really 50% off across two items, and tax can quietly erase a chunk of the headline saving. Running the numbers settles it: confirm that an advertised percentage matches the tag, or decide between two stores whose prices and discounts are structured differently.
