The Math Behind the Savings: How to Calculate a Discount?
Knowing how to use the formulas that our percent off calculator employs assists you in making quick mental estimates while shopping:
Formula 1: Find the Final Price
The final price can be calculated in 2 simple steps.
Calculate the Savings: Take the percentage given as a discount, convert it to a decimal, and multiply it by the original price.
Exemplifying with a Discount (Saving Money): Calculating the sale price starting with the original price, then subtracting the discount, and the sale price: the savings.
Sale Price: Original Price – Original Price × Discount Price
Formula 2: Tax on the Discounted Price. Do you remember how we calculated the tax? Always ensure that the sales tax is calculated on sale price and the tax is on sale price.
Tax Amount: Sale Price x Tax Rate
Final Price: Sale Price + Tax Amount.
Final Cost: 1125 + 202.50 = 1327.50.
Exemplifying with a Discount (Saving Money): Let the original price be 1500. Nowadays, we have a discount of 25%. We calculate the discount and price, and how much the savings are.
Eligible discount = 1500 x (25% of 100) = 1500 * 0.25 = 375
Now calculating the Discount Price: Discount Price = Original Price – eligible Discount.
The answer is 1500 – 375 = 1125.
Original Price Calculation: Sale Price / (1 – (Discount % / 100))
E.g., If you buy something for ₨750 after applying a 25% discount, – 750 / (1 – (25 / 100)) = 750 / 0.75 = ₨1000.
Advanced Shopping Scenarios.
In some cases, the deals might be a bit more complicated. Here’s how to tackle them:
Double Discounts – “40% off + an extra 20% off”
Most people make the mistake of thinking 40% + 20% = 60% and, as such, 60% would be the final discount. This is false. The second discount is applied to the already discounted price.
Step 1. For an item priced ₨1000 and offered a 40% discount, the first step would be applying the 40% discount: ₨1000 – ₨400 = ₨600.
Step 2. The price after applying the second discount is ₨600 – 20% = ₨600 – ₨120 = ₨480.
Result: The total final price is ₨480, a total discount of 52%, not 60%.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much would it cost if I deducted a 20 percent payment on sales tax?
To take 20% off the price, you have to determine 20% of the price, which you can find by multiplying the price by 0.20, then take that away from the top price, which is the original price. The quicker method is multiplying the price, which is discounted, by (1–0.20), which for 20% is 0.80. Therefore, for ₨500, it is ₨500 multiplied by 0,.8,0 which will give you ₨ 400.
Is sales tax added on before the discount is applied, or after the discount is applied?
As a rule of thumb for all retail sales, the sales discount is taken first, and then sales tax is charged on the discounted price. For the consumer, this is the best situation, and one which our calculator takes as a standard.
Is the calculator that works out sales and any other charges free of charge?
Absolutely. The sales calculator is freely available for all. There are no limits on the number of calculations that can be done.
