A 25% sale
What do you pay for an item priced at 120 with 25% off?
120 × 25 ÷ 100 = 30 saved. Subtract those savings from the original price: 120 − 30 = 90.

A fractional discount
What is 12.5% off a price of 80?
80 × 12.5 ÷ 100 = 10 saved. The discounted price is 80 − 10 = 70. Percentage discounts can include decimals.
70; you save 10
A 40% reduction
An item costs 250 before a 40% discount. What is the sale price?
40% of 250 is 100, so the sale price is 250 − 100 = 150. The remaining price is 60% of the original.
150; you save 100
A second discount uses the reduced price
For 20% off followed by another 10%, the combined discount is 28%. Calculate the two steps separately.
Calculate two successive discountsIf you only know the sale price
To recover the original price, divide the sale price by the fraction remaining. For a price of 80 after 20% off, 80 ÷ 0.8 = 100.

FORMULA & LIMITS
The calculation is visible, not a black box.
The discount is applied once to the original price. Taxes and fees are not added. Rates above 100% can produce a negative price and are flagged; check whether a negative rate or price makes sense in your case.

CLEAR ANSWERS
Math without mystery.
How is a discount calculated?+
Multiply the original price by the discount percentage to find the savings, then subtract the savings from the original price.
Does this include sales tax?+
No. The result is the discounted price before tax. Apply any required tax to that price separately.
Can I calculate discounts above 100%?+
The calculator accepts the value, but normal retail discounts are between 0% and 100%.
