What this calculator does
It computes final price after discount and shows how much you save from the original price.
How to calculate discount
Savings = price × percent/100. Final = price − savings. For stacked discounts, apply each sequentially.
Who should use this
- Shoppers comparing deals
- Small businesses creating promotions
Examples
- $129.99 with 25% → $97.49, savings $32.50

Understanding Discounts
How to Calculate Percentage Off
To calculate a discount, use: Savings = Price × (Discount % / 100) and Final Price = Price - Savings
Example: $129.99 with 25% off → Savings = $129.99 × 0.25 = $32.50, Final = $129.99 - $32.50 = $97.49
Quick mental math: For 25% off, divide by 4. For 20% off, divide by 5. For 10% off, move decimal one place left.
Stacked Discounts Explained
When multiple discounts apply (e.g., 20% off + additional 15% off), apply them sequentially:
- First discount: $100 × 0.20 = $20 off → $80
- Second discount: $80 × 0.15 = $12 off → $68 final
Note: Order matters slightly, but the difference is usually minimal. The first discount is applied to the original price, subsequent discounts to the reduced price.
