Discount Calculator

Find the sale price and savings for any discount, in percentage or dollar terms.

How to Use This Discount Calculator

Enter the original price and choose whether your discount is a percentage off or a fixed dollar amount. The calculator shows the discount amount, the final price and your savings as both money and a percentage.

  • Percentage off โ€” a 20% discount on a $100 item saves $20.
  • Amount off โ€” a $15 coupon saves $15 regardless of the price.
  • Savings % โ€” the discount amount divided by the original price.
  • Final price โ€” what you actually pay.

Practical Example

Suppose a jacket costs $80 and is marked 25% off:

  • Discount amount = $80 ร— 0.25 = $20
  • Final sale price = $80 โˆ’ $20 = $60
  • You save 25% of the original price

With a double discount โ€” 25% off then an extra 10% off โ€” you'd pay $60 ร— 0.90 = $54 (a 32.5% total discount, not 35%).

What Your Results Mean

  • Discount amount โ€” the money you save from the original price.
  • Final price โ€” what you actually pay (before tax).
  • Savings percentage โ€” how much of the original price you save.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate a percentage discount?

Multiply the original price by the discount percentage and divide by 100 to get the amount saved, then subtract it from the original price.

How do I find the savings percentage for a fixed amount?

Divide the discount amount by the original price and multiply by 100. For example, $15 off a $75 item is a 20% discount.

What is a double discount?

A double discount applies two discounts one after the other, e.g. 10% off then an extra 5% off the reduced price. This is not the same as 15% off the original.

Should I calculate discount before or after tax?

Stores usually apply discounts to the pre-tax price. If you need the final out-of-pocket cost, calculate the discount first, then add sales tax on the discounted price.

Does this calculator include sales tax?

No. It shows the discounted price before tax. Use the sales tax calculator to add tax afterward.
