What Is a Discount Calculator?
A discount calculator finds the sale price and savings when a percentage discount is applied to an original price. Essential for shoppers, retailers, and finance professionals.
How to Calculate a Discount
Formula: Discount Amount = Price × (Rate ÷ 100) | Sale Price = Price − Discount
Example: $120 item at 25% off: Discount = $30 | Sale Price = $90
Types of Discounts
- Percentage discount: Fixed % off the price
- Fixed amount discount: $X off
- Volume discount: Lower price for buying more
- Seasonal discount: Holiday or clearance sales
FAQ
How do I calculate two consecutive discounts?
Apply the first discount, then apply the second to the new price. A 20% + 10% discount does NOT equal 30% — it equals 28%.
How do I find the original price from a discounted price?
Original = Sale Price ÷ (1 − Rate÷100). Example: $75 after 25% off → $75 ÷ 0.75 = $100 original.
