discount calculator works out the final price of a discounted item. Enter the original price and the discount percentage, and it returns your sale price, the amount you save, and the final price including sales tax — so you know exactly what you’ll pay at the register.

How to use the discount calculator

  2. Choose the discount. Tap a preset (10%, 25%, 50%, 70%) or type a custom percentage.
  3. Add sales tax (optional). Enter your local rate to see the true final price.
  4. Read your result. Your savings and final price update instantly.

How to calculate a discount

To calculate a discount, multiply the price by the discount percentage, then subtract it from the original price:

Savings = Price × (Discount % ÷ 100)   ·   Sale price = Price − Savings

For example, a $80 item at 25% off: $80 × 0.25 = $20 saved, leaving a $60 sale price. Add 7% sales tax and the final price is $64.20.

Quick discount reference

Final sale price for common discounts (before tax):

Original 10% off 25% off 50% off
$20 $18.00 $15.00 $10.00
$50 $45.00 $37.50 $25.00
$100 $90.00 $75.00 $50.00
$200 $180.00 $150.00 $100.00

Stacked and “extra % off” discounts

Two discounts don’t simply add up. An extra 20% off an item already 50% off is not 70% off — it’s 20% off the already-reduced price. A $100 item at 50% off becomes $50, and 20% off that is $40, an effective discount of 60%, not 70%.

Discount Calculator FAQ

How do I calculate a discount?

Multiply the original price by the discount percentage as a decimal to find your savings, then subtract that from the price. A $80 item at 25% off saves $20, for a $60 sale price.

How do I work out the percentage off?

Divide the amount you save by the original price, then multiply by 100. If a $50 item is on sale for $35, you save $15, which is $15 ÷ $50 × 100 = 30% off.

Do stacked discounts add together?

No. A second discount applies to the already-reduced price. An extra 20% off an item that's 50% off gives a 60% effective discount, not 70%, because the 20% comes off the lower price.

Is sales tax added before or after the discount?

Sales tax is calculated on the discounted sale price, not the original price. This calculator applies your tax rate after the discount to show the true final price.

What is the difference between a discount and a markdown?

They mean essentially the same thing to a shopper — a reduction from the original price. "Markdown" is the retail term for permanently lowering a price, while "discount" often refers to a temporary sale or coupon.

Is the discount calculator free to use?

Yes, this discount calculator is completely free, needs no sign-up, and gives instant results directly in your browser.
