Percentages
Discount calculator
Calculate the price after a percentage discount and see the amount saved. Use any currency; the result stays in the same currency.
How to calculate it
Multiply the original price by the discount percentage and divide by 100 to find the saving. Then subtract the saving from the price. An item priced at 80 with 25% off costs 60: a saving of 20.
Worked examples
| Example | Working | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 25% off 80 | 80 × (1 − 25 ÷ 100) | 60.00 |
| 15% off 120 | 120 × (1 − 15 ÷ 100) | 102.00 |
| 30% off 49.99 | 49.99 × (1 − 30 ÷ 100) | 34.99 |
| 50% off 75 | 75 × (1 − 50 ÷ 100) | 37.50 |
| 10% off 19.99 | 19.99 × (1 − 10 ÷ 100) | 17.99 |
| 75% off 200 | 200 × (1 − 75 ÷ 100) | 50.00 |
Frequently asked questions
Does the result include tax or delivery?
No. This tool applies one discount to the price you enter. Add any relevant taxes, delivery charges, or fees separately.
How are prices rounded?
The displayed sale price and saving are rounded to two decimal places. Retailers may use different rounding rules, so the checkout price is authoritative.
Can I enter two discounts?
Calculate the first discounted price, then enter that result as the original price for the second discount. Adding two discount percentages usually overstates the saving.
How do I find the original price from a sale price?
Divide the sale price by (1 − discount ÷ 100). For example, if an item now costs 60 after a 25% discount, the original price was 60 ÷ 0.75 = 80.
How do I compare two different discounts?
Calculate the final price for each offer with this tool, then compare the results directly. A bigger percentage off a lower original price can sometimes save less money than a smaller percentage off a higher one.
