Free Discount Calculator

Find the final price and the amount you save from a percentage discount.

You pay
60.00

You save 20.00 (25% off 80.00).

Quick answer

To calculate a discount, multiply the original price by the discount percentage divided by 100 to get the amount saved, then subtract it from the price. For example, 25% off $80 saves $20, for a final price of $60.

Formula & method

saved = price × (discount% ÷ 100);  final price = price − saved
  • price — the original price
  • discount% — the discount percentage, e.g. 25

Examples

Example 1: 25% off $80
Input
price = 80, discount = 25%
Result
Save $20.00, pay $60.00
Why
80 × 0.25 = 20; 80 − 20 = 60.
Example 2: 10% off $19.99
Input
price = 19.99, discount = 10%
Result
Save $2.00, pay $17.99
Why
19.99 × 0.10 = 1.999 ≈ 2.00.
Example 3: 70% clearance on $120
Input
price = 120, discount = 70%
Result
Save $84.00, pay $36.00
Why
120 × 0.70 = 84; 120 − 84 = 36.

When to use this tool

  • Checking a sale price while shopping.
  • Comparing two offers to see which saves more.
  • Working out a markdown for your own pricing.

Common mistakes

  • Stacking two discounts by adding the percentages. 20% then 10% off is not 30% off — it’s 28% off the original.
  • Confusing the amount saved with the final price.
  • Forgetting that tax is usually applied after the discount.

Frequently asked questions

＋ How do I calculate a discount?

Multiply the original price by the discount percentage divided by 100 to get the savings, then subtract that from the price to get the final amount.

＋ How do two stacked discounts work?

Apply them one after another. 20% off then 10% off a $100 item gives $80, then $72 — a 28% total discount, not 30%.

＋ How do I find the original price from a sale price?

Divide the sale price by (1 − discount/100). For example, $60 after 25% off is 60 ÷ 0.75 = $80.

＋ Is tax applied before or after the discount?

Usually after. The discount lowers the price first, then sales tax is calculated on the reduced amount.

＋ Is anything saved or uploaded?

No. The calculation happens entirely in your browser.
