⚙️ How It Works
A discount calculator determines the final price after applying a percentage discount to an original price. It's useful for shopping, sales analysis, and comparing deals. You can also work backwards — given the sale price and discount percentage, find the original price.
Sale Price = Original Price × (1 − Discount% / 100) | Savings = Original Price × (Discount% / 100) | Original Price = Sale Price / (1 − Discount% / 100)

Discount % = ((Original Price − Sale Price) / Original Price) × 100. Example: item was $80, now $60 → ((80 − 60) / 80) × 100 = 25% discount.
How do stacked discounts work?
Stacked discounts multiply, not add. A 20% discount followed by a 10% discount gives: 100% × 0.80 × 0.90 = 72%, which is a 28% total discount — not 30%. Always calculate sequentially.
What is a clearance sale?
Clearance sales typically offer 30–70% off to clear out old inventory. The deepest discounts (50–70%) usually appear at the end of a clearance event. However, the original price may have been inflated, so compare with other retailers.
How do I compare two different discount offers?
Convert both to the final price. For example, '30% off $100' = $70, while '$25 off $80' = $55. The second deal is better despite the smaller percentage. Always compare final prices, not discount percentages.
