How to use

A percentage discount removes a fraction of the original price. It is a two-step sum: how much leaves the price and what the buyer now pays. Seeing both numbers keeps a small-looking discount from quietly cutting the margin.

  • Work out the final price of a percentage promotion.
  • Check a shelf tag against a campaign offer.
  • Estimate how much revenue the promotion gives away.
  1. Enter the original price.
  2. Enter the discount percentage.
  3. The result shows the final price and the saving given.

Formula

Final price = original price × (1 − discount ÷ 100)

Example

A price of 200 with a 15% discount becomes 170; the buyer saves 30.

Limitations

  • The discount stays between 0 and 100; above 100 the price would be negative.
  • The discount applies to the price you enter, so stacked discounts have to be calculated one at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Are two 10% discounts the same as 20%?

No. 10% off 100 leaves 90, and another 10% off 90 leaves 81 — a total discount of 19%.

How do I find the percentage between two prices?

Divide the difference by the original price and multiply by 100. Going from 200 to 170 is a drop of 30, which is 15%.
