About Percent Off Calculator
What is a Percent Off Calculator?
A percent off calculator helps you quickly determine the final price of an item after applying a percentage discount. Whether you're shopping during sales, comparing deals, or calculating promotions, this tool instantly shows you how much you'll pay and save.
How to Calculate Percent Off
The Formula
Discount Amount = Original Price × (Percent Off / 100)
Sale Price = Original Price - Discount Amount
Step-by-Step Process
- Start with the original price: The full price before any discount
- Convert percent to decimal: Divide the percent by 100
- Calculate the discount: Multiply original price by the decimal
- Subtract from original: This gives you the final sale price
Example Calculation
A $80 item with 25% off:
- Convert: 25% = 0.25
- Discount: $80 × 0.25 = $20
- Sale Price: $80 - $20 = $60
- You save: $20
Common Discount Calculations
| Original Price | Percent Off | You Save | Sale Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| $100 | 10% | $10 | $90 |
| $100 | 20% | $20 | $80 |
| $100 | 25% | $25 | $75 |
| $100 | 30% | $30 | $70 |
| $100 | 50% | $50 | $50 |
| $100 | 75% | $75 | $25 |
Types of Discounts
Fixed Percentage Discounts
- Standard sales: 10%, 20%, 25% off
- Clearance sales: 50%, 70%, 75% off
- Holiday specials: Various percentages
Stacked Discounts
Some retailers allow multiple discounts. To calculate:
- Apply the first discount to get the intermediate price
- Apply the second discount to the intermediate price
Note: Two 25% discounts ≠ 50% off. It's actually 43.75% off!
Shopping Tips
When Comparing Deals
- Always calculate the final price, not just the percentage
- A higher percent off isn't always the better deal if prices differ
- Consider additional costs like shipping
Watch for These Tactics
- Inflated original prices: Some stores raise prices before "discounting"
- Minimum purchase requirements: "20% off orders over $100"
- Exclusions: Sale items may be excluded from additional discounts
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 30% off the same as multiplying by 0.30?
No! 30% off means you pay 70% of the original price. Multiplying by 0.30 gives you the discount amount, not the final price. To get the final price directly, multiply by (1 - 0.30) = 0.70.
How do I calculate the original price from a sale price?
Use: Original Price = Sale Price / (1 - Discount Percentage / 100)
For example, if the sale price is $60 after 25% off: Original = $60 / 0.75 = $80
What's the difference between "percent off" and "percent of"?
- Percent off: How much is subtracted (25% off $100 = $75 final price)
- Percent of: The actual calculated amount (25% of $100 = $25)
