Formula

A discount is the original price multiplied by the discount percentage. The sale price is the original price minus the discount.

discount amount = original price × discount% ÷ 100 sale price = original price - discount amount

Examples

  • 20% off $150: discount = $150 × 0.20 = $30. Sale price = $120.
  • 35% off $80: discount = $28. Sale price = $52.
  • Two discounts usually apply one after another, not by simply adding percentages.

Frequently asked questions

Short, practical answers for this calculation.

How do I calculate 20% off?

Multiply the original price by 0.20 to find the savings, then subtract the savings from the original price.

Is 50% off twice the same as 100% off?

No. Two 50% discounts reduce the price to 25% of the original, not zero.

Should tax be calculated before or after discount?

Many stores calculate sales tax after the discount, but rules vary by location and product.

Can I find the original price from a sale price?

Yes. Use the reverse percentage calculator with the discount percentage.
