How to use the Discount Calculator

  1. Enter the original price and the discount percentage.
  2. Optionally add a second discount (e.g. an extra 10% off coupon) and a sales tax rate.
  3. Read the final price and the total amount you save.

About this tool

Stores often advertise stacked discounts like “40% off, plus an extra 20% off at checkout”. Those don’t add up to 60% — the second discount applies to the already-reduced price, so the real saving is 52%. This calculator applies discounts in sequence, exactly as a checkout would, and then adds sales tax if you enter one.

Sale price = original × (1 − discount ÷ 100)

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate 20% off a price?

Multiply the price by 0.8 (that is, 1 − 0.20). A $50 item at 20% off is $40.

Why isn’t 30% off plus 20% off the same as 50% off?

Because the second discount applies to the reduced price. $100 → 30% off → $70 → 20% off → $56, which is 44% off in total, not 50%.

Is tax applied before or after the discount?

After. Sales tax is charged on the amount you actually pay, which is the discounted price.
