Discount Calculator

Work out a sale price and how much you save from a discount percentage.

The real price after the discount

A discount tag tells you the percentage off, not what you will actually pay. This works out the final price and the amount saved, so a 30% off a given price becomes a concrete figure rather than a bit of mental arithmetic at the shelf.

Enter the original price and the discount to see what you pay and save.

Stacked discounts don't simply add

The catch worth knowing is that stacked discounts do not add up the way they seem. An extra 20% off an already 30%-reduced price is not 50% off — the second discount applies to the already-lower price, so the combined saving is less than the two numbers summed. Retailers know this reads as a bigger deal than it is. Working out the actual final price, step by step, is the way to see what a layered offer genuinely saves.

Do stacked discounts add together?

No — an extra 20% off an already 30%-off price applies to the lower price, so the total saving is less than 50%, not equal to it.

What does it show?
