How Does the Discount Calculator Work?

Use Mode 1 to enter the original price and discount percentage -- the calculator shows you the savings amount and final price. Use Mode 2 to enter the original price and the sale price -- the calculator automatically determines the discount percentage. This is perfect for shopping, comparing deals, and figuring out how much you actually save during sales and promotions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate discount percentage?
Discount % = ((Original Price - Sale Price) / Original Price) x 100. Enter the original and sale price and we calculate it for you.
How do I find the final price after discount?
Final Price = Original Price - (Original Price x Discount% / 100). Enter the original price and discount percentage to find out.
Can I calculate the discount both ways?
Yes! Use Mode 1 to enter original price + discount %, or Mode 2 to enter original price + sale price to find the discount %.

Discounts, reverse discounts and why stacked offers add up to less than you think

Final price = original × (1 − discount/100). Two stacked discounts do not add: 20 % off followed by another 10 % off is 28 % off in total, not 30 %, because the second cut applies to the already-reduced price.

Stacked discounts, done properly

₹5,000 jacket — 30 % off, then an extra 20 % at checkout

After the first cut: 5,000 × 0.70 = ₹3,500

After the second: 3,500 × 0.80 = ₹2,800

Effective discount = (5,000 − 2,800) / 5,000 = 44 %

₹2,800 — a 44 % saving, not the 50 % the two numbers suggest. The shortcut: multiply the remainders, 0.7 × 0.8 = 0.56, so you pay 56 %.

Working backwards from a sale tag

A shirt is marked ₹1,120 after 30 % off. What was the MRP?

₹1,120 is 70 % of the original.

Original = 1,120 ÷ 0.70

₹1,600. Note that dividing by 0.7 is right and adding 30 % to 1,120 is wrong — that would give ₹1,456.

The offers that are not discounts

Discount and GST together

In Indian retail, GST is charged on the discounted value when the discount is shown on the invoice and was agreed before or at the time of supply. So a ₹10,000 item at 18 % GST with a 20 % discount is taxed on ₹8,000, giving ₹1,440 of GST and a total of ₹9,440 — not ₹11,800 discounted afterwards. Post-sale discounts that were not part of the original agreement do not reduce the taxable value.

More questions people ask

How do I calculate a percentage discount?

Multiply the original price by the discount percentage divided by 100 to get the saving, then subtract it. Or go straight there: multiply the price by (1 minus discount/100). 20 % off ₹2,500 is 2,500 × 0.8 = ₹2,000.

Is 20 % off plus 10 % off the same as 30 % off?

No. It works out to 28 % off, because the second discount applies to the already-reduced price. Multiply the remainders instead: 0.8 × 0.9 = 0.72, so you pay 72 % of the original.

How do I find the original price before a discount?

Divide the sale price by (1 minus the discount as a decimal). A ₹750 item at 25 % off was 750 ÷ 0.75 = ₹1,000. Adding 25 % back to ₹750 gives the wrong answer.

What percentage discount is buy one get one free?

50 % — you receive two items for the price of one. Buy two get one free is 33.3 %, and buy three get one free is 25 %.

Is GST charged before or after a discount?

After, provided the discount appears on the invoice and was part of the agreement at the time of supply. GST is then levied on the reduced transaction value, not on the MRP.
