How it works

We multiply the original price by the discount as a decimal to find your savings, subtract that from the original to get the sale price, and optionally add tax on the sale price.

Savings · price × (discount ÷ 100)

Sale price · price − savings

Final total · sale price × (1 + tax ÷ 100)

Frequently asked questions

Multiply the original price by the discount percent expressed as a decimal. A 25% discount on $80 is 80 × 0.25 = $20 in savings, leaving $60 as the sale price.

In most U.S. jurisdictions tax is applied after the discount, on the actual amount paid. This calculator follows that order: sale price first, then tax. If your locale taxes the original price, compute the tax separately on the original amount.

Subtract the sale price from the original, divide by the original, and multiply by 100. ($80 − $60) ÷ $80 × 100 = 25%. Use the percentage of the savings against the original to find the discount you got.

Yes — apply them sequentially, not added together. A 20% off followed by an extra 10% off is 100% × 0.80 × 0.90 = 72% of the original (a 28% total discount), not 70%.
