How to use the discount calculator

  1. Enter the original price of the item.
  2. Enter the discount percentage — the calculator shows the new price and how much you save.

How the discount is calculated

The calculator first finds how much the discount is worth, then subtracts this from the original price:

You save = Original price × (Discount ÷ 100)
New price = Original price − You save

If an item originally costs 1,200 and has a 25% discount, you save 1,200 × 0.25 = 300, and the new price becomes 1,200 − 300 = 900.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate the total discount with several discounts in a row?

Discounts applied one after another (e.g. 20% then 10%) don't simply add up to 30%. Calculate the first discount, then use the new price as the starting point for the next discount in the calculator.

How do I find the discount percentage if I know the new and old price?

Use the Percentage Calculator's "% change" tab — it shows the percentage decrease between two prices.
