About the Percent Off Calculator
Find the sale price and the amount you save when an item is a certain percentage off.
How to use the Percent Off Calculator
- Enter the Original Price ($) and the Discount (%).
- Press Calculate Sale Price.
Formula and method
Sale price = Original × (1 − Discount ÷ 100) and Savings = Original − Sale price.
Worked example
A $80 item at 35% off costs 80 × 0.65 = $52, a saving of $28.
25% off. A price of 80 with 25% off saves 20 and costs 60.
When to use the Percent Off Calculator
- Checking a sale price quickly while shopping.
- Working out how much you save on a discounted item.
- Comparing "percent off" offers in different shops.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Taking the percentage of the wrong number, for example of the sale price instead of the original price.
- Forgetting that sales tax is added after the discount in most places.
Tips
- Two discounts in a row multiply; they do not add.
- Check whether tax is added after the discount.
