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.
- Enter the original price.
- Enter the discount percentage.
- 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%.
