How To Use the Discount Calculator

Enter the original price and discount percentage to compare the sale price, savings, and calculation steps.

Start with shelf price

Use the listed price before coupons, store credits, taxes, or shipping. The calculator treats this as the starting amount for the percentage discount.

Enter the percent off

Type the advertised discount as a percentage, such as 15 for 15% or 37.5 for 37.5%. Results update immediately as you compare offers.

Check savings and final price

Use the savings amount for quick comparison, then use the final price as the pre-tax sale price unless your retailer applies tax or fees differently.

Discount Calculator FAQ

Common questions about sale prices, stacked discounts, and pre-tax totals.

How do I calculate a discount?

Multiply the original price by the discount percentage, then subtract that discount amount from the original price.

Can I combine two discounts?

Yes, but apply them one at a time. A 20% discount followed by 10% off is not the same as a single 30% discount.

Is the discount before or after tax?

Most sale discounts are applied before sales tax, but the final checkout total depends on local tax rules and retailer policy.
