Discount Calculator

A discount is a reduction from the original price of a product or service, usually expressed as a percentage or a fixed amount.

To calculate a discount, convert the percentage into a decimal (divide by 100) and multiply it by the original price. Subtract this amount from the original price to get the sale price.

To calculate your discount, multiply the original price by the discount percentage divided by 100. Subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the sale price.

The discount rate is the percentage taken off the original price. For example, a 20% discount reduces a $100 item by $20.

While often used interchangeably, a discount is typically a reduction given to a specific customer or for a specific condition (like paying early), whereas a markdown is a permanent reduction in the selling price of an item.

First, apply the discount to get the discounted price. Then, multiply the discounted price by the tax rate decimal to get the tax amount. Finally, add the tax amount to the discounted price.

Yes, but be careful! If you have a 20% discount and a 10% coupon, it is usually not a flat 30% off. You apply the 20% first, and then apply the 10% to the new, already-discounted price.
