Technical details
- Example: an $80 item with 25% off costs 80 − (80 × 25 / 100) = $60; you save $20.
- Final price and savings are rounded to 2 decimal places (cents). The calculator has no currency, so it works for dollars, euros or anything else.
- A discount above 100% would give a negative price, which makes no commercial sense.
- You can type decimals with a comma or a dot (12.5 or 12,5).
Frequently asked questions
Does it apply multiple successive discounts?
No, this calculator applies a single discount. For successive discounts, feed the result of one as the starting price for the next.
Is 20% off plus 10% off the same as 30% off?
No. Successive discounts apply to the result of the previous one: $100 with 20% off becomes $80, and a further 10% off takes it to $72, which is 28% in total, not 30%.
