Understanding Discount Types
- Percentage Discount — A percentage off the original price. Example: 20% off a $100 item saves $20, final price $80.
- Fixed Amount Discount — A specific dollar amount off. Example: $15 off a $100 item, final price $85.
- BOGO (Buy One Get One) — Effectively 50% off when buying two items. Use 50% discount for the average per-item cost.
- Tiered Discount — Higher discount for larger purchases (e.g., 10% off $50, 20% off $100).
Tips for Smart Shopping
- Check the original price — Some retailers inflate the "original" price to make discounts look bigger. Compare with competitors.
- Read the fine print — Some discounts exclude tax, shipping, or specific items.
- Stack promotions — Combine discount codes, store rewards, and cashback apps when allowed.
- Wait for major sales — Black Friday, end-of-season clearances, and prime days often beat smaller promotions.
- Set a price alert — Use browser tools to track price drops on items you want.
- Consider total cost — Factor in shipping, tax, and return fees, not just sticker price.
Discount Calculation Formula
- Discount Amount = Original Price × (Discount % ÷ 100)
- Sale Price = Original Price − Discount Amount
- With Tax = Sale Price × (1 + Tax % ÷ 100)
- Total Savings = Original Price − Sale Price

Frequently Asked Questions
Is tax calculated on the original or discounted price?
Most jurisdictions tax the discounted price (the amount you actually pay), not the original price. This calculator applies tax to the price after discount.
How do I calculate a stacked discount (e.g., 20% off then additional 10%)?
Stacked discounts don't add up directly — 20% then 10% is not 30%. Use the calculator twice: first apply 20% off the original, then use the result as the new "original" and apply 10%. The total effective discount is 28%.
What's the difference between markdown and markup?
Markdown reduces price from the original (retail discount). Markup increases price from cost (retailer's profit). This calculator handles markdowns/discounts only.
Can I calculate reverse — what was the original price?
For reverse calculation: Original Price = Sale Price ÷ (1 − Discount % ÷ 100). For example, $80 with 20% off had an original price of $80 ÷ 0.80 = $100.
Are the percentage savings linear?
Yes. A 50% discount always saves half the original price, regardless of the price amount. Higher prices mean larger absolute savings.
