See the sale price and exactly how much you save.
Enter the original price and the discount percentage to see the final sale price and how much money you save. Perfect for sales, coupons, and Black Friday — know the real deal before you buy.
A discount calculator answers two questions: how much do you save, and what is the final price? Multiply the original price by the discount rate for the savings, then subtract from the original — or multiply by (1 - rate) to jump straight to the sale price. A 30 percent discount on $120 is 120 x 0.70 = $84, saving $36. Simple — but retail pricing is engineered to make the simple feel complicated, with stacked offers, 'extra percent off sale,' and inflated reference prices all designed to short-circuit your arithmetic.
The trap is stacked discounts. A store offering '20% off, plus an extra 10% off' is not giving 30% off: the second discount applies to the already-reduced price, so $100 becomes $80, then $72 — a 28% total discount, not 30%. The general rule: multiply the keep-fractions (0.80 x 0.90 = 0.72 kept, so 28% off). Retailers know the bigger number sounds better, which is why you should compute it yourself. Also compare every discount against the original price, not the sale price, and watch for inflated 'was' prices — a $200 'was $400' deal is only a deal if the item ever actually sold for $400. Finally, a discount is only savings if you were going to buy anyway; 50% off something you do not need is 100% wasted. The sharpest comparison tool is the final unit price. A '40% off' $50 shirt ($30) versus a '25% off' $36 shirt ($27): the smaller discount wins because the base price was lower. Always compute the out-the-door number — price after discount plus tax — for each option and compare those; percentages are advertising, final prices are facts. And for big-ticket items, ask whether the discount is 'off MSRP' (often inflated) or off the actual selling price — only the latter measures real savings.
Savings = price × discount% ÷ 100, and the sale price is simply price − savings. Money values are returned raw and formatted by the page.
Savings: 120 x 0.30 = $36. Sale price: 120 - 36 = $84 (or directly 120 x 0.70 = $84). Cross-check: $36 is just under a third of $120, matching a just-under-one-third discount, and $84 + $36 = $120 reconciles. If sales tax is 8%, the register total is 84 x 1.08 = $90.72 — tax applies to the discounted price, a small mercy.
After the first 20%: 100 x 0.80 = $80. After the extra 10%: 80 x 0.90 = $72. Total discount is $100 - $72 = $28, i.e. 28% — not 30%. The naive 30% guess would give $70, shortchanging you by $2 on every $100 (or overstating the deal, depending on whose side you are on). Three stacked 10% discounts are even sneakier: 0.9^3 = 0.729 kept, only 27.1% off — each additional '10% off' is worth less than the last.
You save $50 and pay $150. The math: 200 × 25/100 = 50 saved, 200 − 50 = 150 final price.
Discounts multiply, they don't add. Take the sale price from the first discount and enter it as the price for the second — 20% then 10% off is 28% off total, not 30%.
No — it calculates the pre-tax sale price. Tax is applied to the discounted price at checkout, which works in your favor.
