Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a percentage discount?
Multiply the original price by the discount percentage divided by 100. Then subtract that amount from the original price to get the final price.
What is the difference between percent off and percent of?
Percent off means reducing the price by that percentage (e.g., 20% off means you pay 80%). Percent of means paying that percentage (e.g., 80% of means you pay 80% of the original).
Can I stack multiple discounts?
This calculator handles single discounts. For multiple discounts, calculate the first discount, then use the discounted price as the new original price for the second discount.
Does this include sales tax?
No, this calculator shows the pre-tax discounted price. You may need to add sales tax to get the final amount you pay at checkout.
