Formula & methodology

Formula: Sale price = Original x (1 - percent off / 100); Percent off = (Original - Sale) / Original x 100

The Discount Off Calculator is built on a well-established calculation method. It uses the formula Sale price = Original x (1 - percent off / 100); Percent off = (Original - Sale) / Original x 100 to turn your inputs into a reliable result. Calculates discount using Sale price = Original x (1 - percent off / 100), instantly in your browser. The steps are shown on the page so you can follow the reasoning from input to output.

How a percent-off discount works

A discount reduces the price by a percentage of the original. The fraction you actually pay is (1 - percent/100).

Example

A $120 pair of shoes is 35% off. Amount saved = 120 x 0.35 = $42. Sale price = 120 - 42 = $78, or directly 120 x 0.65 = $78.

To reverse-engineer a hidden discount, divide the difference by the original: if a $120 item now costs $78, the discount is (120 - 78) / 120 = 35% off.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate a discount?
Multiply the original price by the discount as a decimal to get the savings, then subtract: sale price = price x (1 - percent/100). A $120 item at 35% off costs 120 x 0.65 = $78, saving $42. You can also subtract the saving ($42) from the original directly.
How do I find the original price from a sale price?
Divide the sale price by (1 − discount%): Original price = sale price ÷ (1 − discount% ÷ 100). If an item costs $60 after a 25% discount, the original price is $60 ÷ 0.75 = $80. You cannot add 25% back to the sale price — that would understate the original.
How do I find what percent off something is?
Compute Discount% = (original − sale) ÷ original × 100. If an $80 item sells for $60, the discount is ($80 − $60) ÷ $80 = 25%. The calculator takes the two prices and returns the percentage off, plus the absolute savings, so you can compare deals across different items.
What does 30% off mean?
30% off means the price is reduced by 30% of its original value, so you pay 70% of it. On a $50 item, you save $15 and pay $35. The percent off is always taken from the original (pre-discount) price unless a second discount is being stacked on a reduced price.
Is the discount taken before or after tax?
Discounts come off the pre-tax price, and sales tax is then charged on the discounted amount. So a discount also reduces the tax. Calculate the sale price first, then apply your local sales-tax rate to that lower figure to get the final checkout total.
How do double discounts work — is 20% + 10% off the same as 30%?
No — successive discounts multiply, they do not add. A 20% discount followed by a 10% discount applies the 10% to the already-reduced price: $100 → $80 → $72, which is 28% off overall, not 30%. The calculator handles stacked discounts by applying each in sequence, so you get the true final price.
How do I work out a triple discount?
Apply each discount in sequence to the running price: after a 20%, 10%, and 5% stack, $100 becomes $100 × 0.80 × 0.90 × 0.95 = $68.40, a combined 31.6% off. The order does not change the result because multiplication commutes. Enter all three percentages and the calculator returns the final price and the true combined discount.
